Please post your thoughts and comments on this 2011 special 5.1 SACD release from the Museum of Outdoor Arts.
A musical ensemble made up of Kimba Arem, Jesse Manno, Beth Quist, Michael Stanwood and Kailin Yong interprets various colors with a wide variety of musical instruments and voice.
To read more about this disc, check out the info on their website at: http://moaonline.org/color-of-sound/
Cost of the disc directly from the MOA is $10, for those interested in purchasing the disc.
This disc was discovered by QQ Member "Fourplay" who will be offering a copy as an upcoming QQ Door prize drawing.
He wrote: Here is an excerpt from the site describing the composition process: "The invited musicians intuitively responded to the color and its gradations, inventing the music as it came to them. Using exotic instruments such as a didgeridoo, zither and an ocarina, each musician offered a unique one-of-a-kind contribution to this distinctive musical score."
The music is probably closest in label to "New Age," and is generally relaxing and atmospheric. The surround mix is what I would call discrete but static. In other words, the mixer does not move elements around, but rather tends to reproduce the 3D space within which the music was recorded live. I do enjoy the disc and wanted to draw attention to it, since most have probably never heard of it.
