Surround-Sound CD Release - 15.03.06

Tenebrae’s forthcoming release of Joby Talbot’s ground-breaking work ‘The Path of Miracles’ is to be released in Super Audio CD / hybrid surround sound (or SACD).

Path of Miracles was recorded by Tenebrae using special technology that allows the CD to be played in any regular CD player and in SACD players, allowing full surround sound.

Surround sound is the concept of expanding the spatial imaging of audio playback from one dimension (mono/stereo left-right) to two or three dimensions. This is often used for a more realistic audio environment, actively implemented in cinema sound systems, technical theatre, home entertainment, and a growing amount of orchestral and choral music recording. The Path of Miracles is an ideal opportunity to employ this technology due to the spatial variety of a Tenebrae performance and also the many different colours and forces encountered during the course of the piece.
