Space Light Color Vol. 1 - Vinile (Edizione BBR & BlueMoon House)
The Art of Sound: Rigor, Respect for the Masters, and Maximum Fidelity
A work that embodies the art of sound, born from rigor and maximum fidelity. It is the culmination of a solid synergy between Bird Box Records (BBR), a beacon of pure analog sound, and BlueMoon House Records, led by Bruno Fazzini and Massimo Piantini.
The two entities, with over forty years of combined experience, share a singular vision: "to capture and recreate sound with the fidelity and pure emotion of a live performance."
Space Light Color Vol. 1 does not feature unreleased tracks, but rather draws from the heart of our collective musical memory, offering new and intimate interpretations of iconic songs.
This album is a journey through hits spanning from jazz to pop-rock:
- Side A: Includes tracks that resonate with history, such as the energetic "Tequila" , the intense "Killing Me Softly with His Song" , and the celebrated "From the Beginning" (made famous by artists like Emerson, Lake & Palmer). It also features the catchy "Georgy Porgy".
- Side B: Continues with classics like "Black Queen" , the evergreen "On Broadway" , and the romantic standard "My Funny Valentine" , concluding with the jazz tribute to Charles Mingus, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat".
Each piece is presented here through the unique lens of the Acoustic Workshop, transforming well-known tracks into new sonic experiences, rich in environmental realism and analog dynamics.
A Sonic Experience of Maximum Dynamics and Realism:
- The Venue: The album captures the essence of a historic performance recorded in a unique and evocative setting: the Museo Il Cassero, Monte San Savino.
- Environmental Realism: Thanks to careful recording and subsequent processing, the record offers a surprising sensation of environmental realism, allowing the listener to perceive the spatiality and acoustics of the recording location.
- High-Fidelity Mastering: The original 2002 recording has been recovered and optimized for vinyl through a meticulous analog mastering process on 1/2-inch tape, handled at Nightingale Studios.
- This process guarantees high dynamic range and allows the vinyl to retain the original impact and depth, enhancing the full dynamics of the music, as captured on the master.
- To ensure maximum signal integrity and purity, audiophile equipment was used, such as the legendary Ampex ATR102 reel-to-reel recorder and tube and solid-state mastering outboard gear.
An essential work for the audiophile seeking the unaltered emotion of the live performance and the absolute purity of analog sound.
