Song Circus: Anatomy of Sound (2015) [Blu-ray]

The contemporary and improvisational Norwegian chamber vocal ensemble and quintet Song Circus, led by Liv Runesdatter are known to European audiences for their performances that incorporate a fascinating vocabulary of sound combined with rare musical precision. This collection, Anatomy of Sound is but an aspect of a multimedia presentation projected to incorporate recordings along with immersive websites and projected to eventually include eight projects and fifteen composers by the cycles end in 2018. For this first collection from this crucible of the voice, Song Circus highlights the fecundity of the emerging generation of Norwegian composers: Ruben Sverre Gjertsen with the intricate Landscape with Figures and Ole-Henrik Moe's piece for voices and wine glasses Persefone.

Immersive Sound is a completely new conception of the musical experience. Recorded music is no longer a matter of a fixed one-dimensional setting, but rather of a three-dimensional enveloping situation. Stereo can be described as a flat canvas and Surround Sound as a field, but Immersive Sound is a sculpture that you can literally move around and relate to spatially; surrounded by music you can move about in the aural space and choose angles, vantage points and positions. The 9.0 Auro-3D on this Pure Audio Blu-ray features sound reproduction that is more realistic than anything you've heard before. It delivers a new standard in immersion, fully enveloping the listener in a cocoon of life-like audio.
