Its purpose is to provide a separate outlet for musical works, which are aimed squarely at audiophile Hi-Fi systems.\r\n\r\nThis album was recorded in Stereo DSD 128 using a Tascam DA-3000 Analog to Digital Converter.  \u003cstrong\u003eIt is available in Stereo DSD 512, DSD 256, DSD 128 and DSD 64 only at NativeDSD.Com\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nMichael Mitchell tells us \u003cem\u003e\"The album is a representation of synesthesia, as I’ve always experienced it. Thankfully, it’s been made possible by my discovery of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) recording and audiophile Hi-Fi systems, and the enhanced immersion that these technologies provide. To some, the recordings may be viewed more as calibration tracks for an audio system. But maybe they will also encourage people to think about experiencing music and sound in a different way.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIt’s a collection of music, with the specific goal of creating environments in the listener's space. The rhythmic, tonal, and harmonic content serves only as a carrier, or vehicle, to move the air in the room. Each track places varying degrees of emphasis on things like detail retrieval, instrument separation, and depth in the soundstage.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eThe recordings were made for playback on a Stereo Hi-Fi speaker setup. And there is enough breathing room in the recordings, so that they'll scale with the quality of the playback system, instead of sounding bright, punchy, and up-front on every device combination.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eI happily encourage listeners to remind themselves, “This Is Not A Song”, and then see where the experience takes them. No doubt, we all hear things differently, but these are my own interpretations\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite Waves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Riding on a deep tide of calm energy, with guiding objects appearing through the foam.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaving Gate B\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 guides speaking and revealing their infinite backing chorus.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRipples\u003c\/strong\u003e: Becoming aware of a distant reaction taking place and moving closer to witness the interplay between the forces.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircular Experiences\u003c\/strong\u003e: Undulating width, space, and texture, creating room to occupy with oneself.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarmonic Rays\u003c\/strong\u003e: A backdrop of living analog, morphing roles and projecting warmth.
