UNCOMMON BACH - Music Experience in 3-Dimensional Sound Reality TM Audio 24/96 Music Disc. Volume 1.
Product Description This is a presentation of a conceptual work that encompasses nearly 10 years of research in music, sound and technology. The goal was to develop a new view on how music can be presented in Surround Sound. What you will experience is an experimental project that takes orchestration into new dimensions of sound. In producing these classic masterpieces, I have taken a revolutionary approach to showcasing music orchestration with the position of each instrument or group of instruments around the listener. Original orchestral partitures were transcribed in a virtual domain using midi, sampled instruments and synthesis to achieve real separation of the instruments, and also to balance them together in the surround mix. This creates the perception that each individual sound has its unique location in 3-Dimensional Space. Looking to the future of sound and music technology, there is a need for new development to showcase new artist and producers in a revolutionary way. I believe that this new experience will be an exciting and entertaining journey in music and sound. I would like to thank all my supporters who help me develop and present this idea, Alexander Jero Surround Music Artist/Engineer/Producer *Winner of the First Annual Surround Music Awards for the Best New Surround Music Composition presented by United Entertainment Media. Review About the Artist Born in Moscow, Jero started playing music at the age of 7. 'Coming from a classical music background I was always looking at sound and acoustics as a main creative element of music perception' said Golberg in an interview with High Fidelity Review in 2002. In my early years I was always searching for the perfect location in a room to play one of my instruments and using its acoustics to complement the performance.' After graduating from Moscow Music College and State Academy in 1996, Jero moved to the U.S., where he continued his education in Institute of Audio Research and Parsons School of Design in Manhattan. During these years, Jero collaborated with New York artists on different multimedia, music and art projects and exhibitions. After graduating, he went to see his family in Michigan and met with several studio owners and recording engineers. Work in the Detroit metro area as a sound mixing engineer helped him gain the necessary skills and experience to pursue his ideas for three-dimensional audio projects. His electronic music compositions, and especially the influence of Detroit techno music, created what Jero felt was the perfect media for multichannel surround sound, with gracious melody lines taking their roots from classical music. He started performing live techno compositions directly from a keyboard workstation at Detroit clubs, and finalized his idea about the scenario of multimedia presentation--to use visual art to complement the surround music experience--after seeing the movie, Contact. After completing the music part of the project in Detroit area studios, Jero went to the New Detroit Science Center to complete the visual portion of his presentation. The 50-foot-wide, three-story-high planetarium, he felt, was the perfect environment in which to showcase the visual perception of the surround music experience. In 2003, Real Detroit Weekly wrote of the show, 'Music has always been something you could only hear and never touch or see, but this exciting exhibit at the New Detroit Science Center let you get closer to sound than you ever have before. Inside the Digital Dome Planetarium, 13,000 watts of amplification and 5.1 Surround Sound will help to create a sonic experience that explodes into a visual installment in the 50-foot-wide/ three-story-high planetarium.' In February of 2003, United Entertainment Media and Surround Professional magazine chose Jero for the 'Best New Surround Composition' award. --ProSoundNews (April 4, 2006)
