Digital Booklet
Composer Eric Richards shared a penchant for deconstructing musical elements with his modernist contemporaries. And, like many of them, he used technology as a tool to examine and consider subtleties of sound and expression. But unlike his peer composers who then proceeded to write electronic and electro-acoustic music, Richards primarily used his chosen tool, the tape recorder, to conduct research on sound. After pondering it from many angles, he returned to the acoustic medium to produce works that reflect a prismatic stance on musical ideas, presented with almost scientific detachment and wonderment in the same breath. This collection of Richards’ works was co-curated by loadbang and Ekmeles, two ensembles with a deep dedication to advocating for under-appreciated gems of the avant-garde.

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!
