1. Human Element
An event cannot exist without music. Music is an art form and a bridge between people. It is essential for creating the atmosphere and ambiance of any event. However, the source of music can vary, and in recent years, due to technological advancements, we have witnessed a digitalization of the music universe and a subsequent impact on the quality of the music we listen to daily due to format compression.
To counteract this trend, there is no better option than choosing a more human and organic format. Live music offers just that: human contact, music in its purest form, and a real connection between the musician, the instrument, and the listener, creating a set of sensations that is entirely different from what would be provided by a playlist.
2. Unique Atmosphere
Typically, the presence of musicians, whether in a small format such as a duo or in full bands, has a very positive visual impact. While the attendance at live music events might not always be as high as one might wish, given the easy access to music through technology and streaming services, guests are often pleasantly surprised when they encounter music being performed live by a group of instrumentalists.
This live performance adds a special touch and value to the event, making the experience more memorable and appreciated by the audience.
3. Customized Instrumentation
In addition to selecting a specific music genre or sound, clients often have the opportunity to be involved in choosing the number of musicians and the instruments that will be part of the ensemble. Except for certain specific options that require particular elements, there is generally flexibility to adjust based on the number of musicians and preferred instruments.
For example, in genres such as Jazz or Bossa Nova, it is common to choose from instruments like saxophone, trumpet, double bass, piano, or percussion, and even to include or exclude vocal components based on the client’s preferences.
4. Vintage vs Technology
Technology has made constant access to music possible—people have become accustomed to having it readily available, often favoring digital formats and sacrificing the original quality. However, from a sonic perspective, live and organic music is much purer and more pleasant to the human ear than music reproduced in digital formats, where files are heavily compressed to save space on audio players.
5. Versatility of Band Elements
Certain events, depending on the planned activities or the desired interaction with the audience, may require the presence of an MC (Master of Ceremonies). When a band is hired, the role of the MC can often be easily performed by the band’s lead vocalist.
Depending on the event’s profile and the individual’s style, the performance concept can range from a more formal tone to a humorous approach.
