The New York EP: TRPRK Sessions is a DSD EP that features San Diego based singer and songwriter Gayle Skidmore. Exclusively Available in Stereo and 5 Channel Surround Sound DSD at NativeDSD. New York - I wrote “New York” about being blindsided by a personal tragedy several years ago. I left for a month long solo tour to New York and back immediately afterward, and it was one of the most intense tours of my life. I wanted to write about the feeling of missing a step in the dark and wandering through hazy memories.
The Impossible Sum - “The Impossible Sum” is the proverbial bird and fish tale of star-crossed love, though I chose to represent it with an owl and fox instead (which is why my Deering banjo has an owl painted on the head). It is full of bittersweet longing for something that can never be, and a wish that all that mattered was being happy in the moment.
Sleepwalking - I’ve always had a fascination with the fragility and fleeting nature of life. “Sleepwalking” is a mix of hope amidst melancholy. It expresses my firm belief that though we never know how long we are given, we should live life out loud.

One of my favorite genres of music is Singer/Songwriter. The New York EP: TRPTK Sessions took me by surprise!! Deep meaningful lyrics, well produced and expertly recorded.
I am looking forward to a full album release by Gayle Skidmore in the near future. Produced, recorded and mastered on the TRPTK label.
Simply beautiful Jazz music. This Pure DSD 256 file is amazing at creating a very believable stage in front of your listening room.
This album, with a few others from NativeDSD, was part of a DSD review I did on my YouTube channel (mikesvinylexperience). The Blue Hours Sessions is a go-to for me when I just want to unwind with a great musical and sonic experience!
Okay, I couldn't agree more with the first two reviews here. If you enjoy the cut-and-dried simplicity of a Jazz Trio, or you're just in the mood, give this a try.
The musicians and the recording are fantastic. Such precision and so serene. Bravo!
Old Gold is superbly produced, mixed and mastered with that classic Stockfisch sound. Great clear vocals, rich guitars and a lovely Old School Classic Vintage feel. A great choice for relaxed and critical listening.
I love instrumental Jazz. So when I encountered the Rembrandt Trio's first album, entitled "The Blue Hour Sessions", I had a brief listen to samples, liked what I heard and bought it (DSD 128 resolution).
As a result of that experience, it will probably come as no surprise to learn that, when "The Golden Hour Sessions" - the group's follow-up album - appeared, I had a listen to samples of that and ended up buying it too (DSD 126 as well).
I was very impressed with the playing on both albums. I also found the music to be highly enjoyable. When the superb recording quality is also taken into account, I feel a warm recommendation is definitely warranted.
The Golden Hour Sessions is an outstanding recording and is a testament to the talent of Rembrandt Freichs Trio. Just another excellent offering from Native DSD
This was one of my first DSD albums. Got it in DSD 256. Now I have more than a few. This one is by far my favorite.
Every time I listen to it I'm amazed at the clarity and detail. The vibraphone jumps out at you every single time and I am amazed every single time. The limited number of reviews do NOT do it justice! It is simply outstanding!
A superbly produced, recorded and mastered album. Live Encounters is a warm intimate Live Jazz audience recording that is very enjoyable, adventurous and engaging without becoming overly showy.
Patricia Barber - Audiophile Queen!! Clique! is superbly produced, recorded and mastered. The album showcases Patricia with elegance, originality and impeccable musicianship. A very rewarding listen for Jazz lovers. A must purchase for any music library.
One of the most creative recordings I have heard. The interplay between Bloom and percussionist Miller reminds me of (weird, I know) the mating dance of rattlesnakes. Beautifully intertwined. Two lives moving in harmony in a way not often heard in music.
For the record, I'm using Roon as my front end. My hardware consists of a NAD 3050 LE, used as a pre-amp, connected to a NAD C298 amp, outputted to two ELAC Adante speakers. I also use the DAC inside a Magnetar UDP 900 universal player, and feed that to line 2 on the NAD 3050.
A beautiful interpretation of Dvorak's 9th Symphony that really stands out from the crowd. Unfortunately, the sound engineer let the triangle get lost in the mix. Otherwise, that’s one of my system’s strengths.
For the *Black American Dances*, the sound engineer clearly put in a lot more effort. A beautiful recording and a real asset to the world of orchestral music.
