Search - David Elias :: The Window [hybrid multichannel SACD]

This milk-pure acoustic recording was a Final Nominee in the 2003 Surround Music Awards in Beverly Hills (Horizon Category). The hybrid SACD can be played on anything and has been recommended by some of the best ears in the audiophile community. Recorded directly to DSD by Gus Skinas at SuperAudioCenter.com in Boulder, CO, 'The Window' has been used as a reference disk in many audiophile circles. These live sessions featuring Grammy-winning Sally Van Meter (dobro, weissenborn), Matt Flinner (mandolin, bouzouki), Ross Martin (ambient guitar), John Magnie (accordion, keyboards), Marc Dalio (drums), Eric Thorin (Standup bass) were recorded as a live band at Immersive Studios with no edits or overdubs. Minimal micing techniques were used to capture the ambient characteristics of the acoustic instruments during the performance sessions. Mixing by Gus Skinas for both stereo and 5.1 surround sound was done to place the listener directly in front of the band as if he/she were present at the sessions themselves. The quality of this recording and the musicianship presented continues to make big impressions on folk listeners around the world.
