Digital Booklet
The Crossroads Project was conceived and developed jointly by physicist Dr. Robert Davies and the Fry Street Quartet and blends science, performance art and the imagery of our ever-changing planet. The ensemble commissioned two composers, Grammy winner Libby Larsen and Laura Kaminsky, to create musical landscapes which speak to the crisis of an imminently unsustainable human world and move the listener toward a meaningful response. Dr. Davies says the project isn't necessarily intended to convert the unconverted but rather to instigate change amongst those who already are in tune with the issue of sustainability. It's about convincing people who already believe we have these problems to start behaving like it.

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!
