Also known as the Jazz paradox, the Yngwie Malmsteen paradox addresses the power of technology make our lives easier, by making them harder.
Modern information technology allows us to freely manipulate, desiccate, desecrate, defibrillate and duplicate data. A good enough algorithm can, in theory, handle any kind of syntactical complexity, costlessly ingesting and processing the densest textual construction. With a simple cut-and-paste we can replicate, vary and augment at will. But this generates what we call the “Yngwie Malmsteen paradox”[1]: Just because guitar technology[2] means you can play 64th note flattened mixolydian arpeggios at 200 bpm doesn’t mean you should.
- ↑ Spinal Tap’s Nigel Tufnel might have called it the “Jazz paradox”
- ↑ Scalloped frets, flat radii, locking tuners, rectified amplifiers etc.
