General Information John Gorka is one of my favorite artists. His songs and his voice are memorable, meaningful and introspective. His career spans over 30 years since his early days playing in college through 10 albums for Red House Records and Windham Hill. He even had a number of country hits and some music videos on CMT. But I don't think of his music as country...more folk. I've collected almost all of his recordings after being hooked by "Land of the Bottom Line" on a recommendation of my sister. But the sound of his recordings don't do justice to the magic of his resonant voice and his sincere approach to songs. This HD Audio and Video Collectors Edition bring this artist and a few of his musician friends into your personal space to perform a private concert for you. About the Recording Approach This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of an acoustic 5-piece band but instead an exploration of the creative process of making and recording music on videotape and using high-resolution digital audio recording equipment. AIX Records uses no EQ, dynamics processing or artificial reverberation...everything you hear is as the musicians played it. Both "audience" and "stage" 5.1 mixes and a PCM 96/24 bit stereo mix are included on the disc on the DVD-Video side. However, 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 can chose to listen from the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instruments coming from all directions or place yourself in the "best seat in the house". The dynamic range and fidelity offered by the 96 kHz/24 Bit source recording makes this recording come to life. About the Disc This is another in our series of Collectors Editions..comprised of two discs, deluxe packaging and hours of great music and video. There is a Dualdisc [CD and DVD-Audio] and 2-sided DVD-Video disc. Featuring footage of John performing in concert at McCabes in Santa Monica, rehearsing with his band here at the studio, music videos, John discussing the songs and his life and much, much more. There is no bigger fan of John than myself and this project delivers it all. One listening session and I'm very confident that you'll be a fan too...if you're not already. About the DVD-Audio/Video Format and our Collectors Editions This project has 2 double sided discs, a 14 package booklet and deluxe packaging. The first disc is a DVD-Video disc with 14 gigabytes of audio and video. One side "the interactive side" contains a variety of audio/video media including: complete session videos, music video, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsals, 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 and the other side "the linear PBS style side" contains a 2-hour combination of songs, intros etc. The second disc is a "DualDisc" that has a DVD-Audio side and a CD side. You can play the music at the ultimate fidelity level in surround or play the CD in your car or portable device. Everything you want to know about John Gorka is here...enjoy!
