General Information

Joined by two legendary acoustic guitarists, Dorian Michael is an accomplished soloist in his own right, having released two previous projects. On this recording he explores the blues with an ensemble consisting of guitars, bass, piano and drums. An all acoustic, high resolution recording, the tracks on this DVD demonstrate the ultimate in sonic fidelity.

About the Recording Approach

This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of Dorian Michael and friends, but instead an exploration of high-resolution recording coupled with aggressive 5.1 channel surround mixing. While both an "audience" and "stage" mix are included on the disc on the DVD-Video side, it is the DVD-Audio 96 kHz/24 bit tracks encoded with Meridian Lossless Packing [MLP] that elevates the listening experience well beyond a traditional CD or even a live event. You are placed in the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instruments coming from all directions. The dynamic range and fidelity offered by the 96 kHz/24 Bit source recording makes this recording come to life.

About the Disc

This DVD disc has two sides with digital data on them. One side, the DVD-Video side, contains the complete performances with multiple camera angle video, alternate mixes ["stage" and "audience"], DTS and Dolby Digital audio tracks and a comprehensive array of informational screens about the project and the performers. Of special interest to guitarist are the on-screen chord changes (subtitles), blues master class and printable lead sheets for all of the tunes! There are photos from the sessions and complete technical information about the recording.

About the DVD-Audio/Video Format

The DVD-Video side also contains a comprehensive explanation of the DVD format [including DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and DVD-ROM], digital encoding methodologies [AC-3, DTS, PCM and MLP], instructions on how to setup your 5.1 channel surround system, test tones/channel IDs checks and demonstrations comparing stereo mixes to 5.1 mixes. Everything you want to know about DVD and 5.1 channel surround is on this disc.
