We have a quote from a gentleman back East:
" Definitely this is the best performance and recording of singing bowls that I have ever heard -- and I've heard a fair number of recordings. "
Thanks for the kind words! Although it would be insider trading to comment on the performance aspect (there are a few spots of "perfect imperfection" that were left in---it was considered better to err on the side or real, and away from polished or artificial) it is fair game to talk about the audio quality of the recording. Having also listened to a number of Singing Bowls recordings, 33 Bowls is the only one that consistently fooled a variety of listeners into thinking there was a live performance of Singing Bowls in the next room! In a few words, clean, clear, lucid, more "thereness" there, liquid ease of listening. Considerable "consideration" of the Art and Science of recording went into the recording and production, both the details and the big picture. Playback monitoring is stock equipment, via Lavardin amplifiers, Stealth cables, Fried time coherent Monitor Speakers, Stax electrostatic headphones. However, everything in the recording path is custom and proprietary, nothing is off the shelf. Those details we won't talk much about, but you can enjoy!
As always, the entire recording(s) are available free online (at somewhat reduced bit rate and fidelity) as streaming audio players; Amazon mp3 download is a whopping $1.78; and the CD, which offers enhanced resolution and fidelity is $10; all linked from the main web page: http://33bowls.com
