Complex Tonal Purity

Ensemble Dynamic Power

Exotic Percussion Dynamics

This track demonstrates a largely misunderstood term: dynamics. Any boombox can play loud. A good stereo’s dynamics range from feather-soft to thunder-clap loud. The metal and drums (skins and rims) reveal a system’s ability to convey lightning-swift transients.

01 - JazzDrumDynamics

A brilliant yet distant, soulful and spacious sound, the result perhaps of applied reverberation?

07 - AsianFlute

You should experience a strong sense of left-right separation in an intimate setting yet with no sense of a hole in the middle of the soundstage.

08 - BinauralStereoTonality

In contrast to the above, the flute and guitar appear to occupy the space between the speakers in yet another intimate setting.

09 - ComplexTonalResolution

Does the band seem to be playing in an acoustically ideal space? – a well designed performance shell perhaps? Pay particular attention to location within the soundfield.

10 - OutdoorAmbience

Have you a sense of the trumpets’ knife-edged brilliance playing into the open air?

11 - LargeOutdoorSpace

Here we have an excellent example of a fully occupied, harmonically luxuriant soundfield. Our table in this jazz club isn’t very far from the band.

12 - HarmonicGroupUnity

Note the swift attacks and the harmonics they produce. Our proximity to the guitarist permits us to hear this beautiful instrument’s every intricate aspect.
