General Information

This is AIX Records' second full Blu-ray production and the second in our series of of acoustic jams on selected classical works. If you've already heard the "Moonlight Acoustica" project from a couple of years ago, you know what you're in for, some of the finest studio musicians in Los Angeles letting loose on the harmonic and melodic foundation provided by Johannes Pachelbel. The sextet weaves through a variety of tempi and textures as each member explores their role in the ensemble. This recording was done in one pass.

Other music labels are using the BD format, but none captures HD Video of the sessions while recording the audio in HD. Welcome the future. Once again, AIX Records is leading the charge in this exciting new format.

About the Recording Approach

This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of a music ensemble but instead an exploration of the creative process of making and recording music on HD Video 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" 5.1/7.1 mixes and a PCM 96/24 bit stereo mix are included on the disc. We've used Dolby TrueHD to losslessly encode the 5.1/7.1 audio AND enjoy the HD Video at the same time! 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, something standard definition digital and analog cannot match.

About the Disc

This is a single Blu-ray disc with the performance presented in 16:9 - 1920x1080 pixel HD Video. The audio is available in 5.1 "Stage", 5.1 "Audience", 7.1 "Stage", 7.1 "Audience" and 96/24 PCM stereo.

About the Blu-ray Format

The Blu-ray disc format was developed by Sony to bring HD audio and video content to home entertainment systems. While usually associated with Hollywood movies, it makes a great platform for "private music presentations" in high definition audio AND video.
