Digital Booklet
Sound and space are two elements that emerge at the heart of Jane O’Leary’s The Passing Sound of Forever, a showcase for her compositional gifts through a variety of her chamber works. Her string writing soars and demonstrates her remarkable sensitivity to the instruments’ sonic palette and expressive potential: every colour, from ethereal natural harmonics to frenetic bowing, is at O’Leary’s disposal and is exploited beautifully to produce evocative and compelling soundscapes. The album's title track is composed for string quartet, which makes it a shining and exemplary representation of her expressiveness. Not every piece here features strings, but all seem to engage with the same themes of space and sound.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
