Klavikon, the debut album from acclaimed composer and pianist Leon Michener, reimagines electronic music without the use of conventional processes: no loops, no laptops, no sequencers. Instead, Michener employs a unique system of amplified prepared piano, augmenting the 88 keys with his own inventions and found objects including a custom made pickup, a robot dog delivering cascading batteries of percussion, sub-basses and abstract soundscapes. This amalgam of virtuosic technique and real time analogue processing creates a fertile and inventive sonic territory that resists easy categorization.

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!
