The Sound of Music
Persona Digital Studio Music



Transcend

Transcend means to rise above and go beyond. The idea is that the music itself goes beyond preceding music and listening to this music helps you transcend whatever local concerns that might preoccupy you. I began to appreciate that the listener can be a very creative person in the mix of composer-performer-listener. The essence of healing music is not just a calming or soporific effect, but an opportunity for the listener to participate and create. This opportunity requires space between sounds, gradual transitions and nuanced understanding of the brain processing of sound.

Here are examples from a new album Transcend that explore quiet music with symphonic features. I use the Korg M3 Karma to generate complex polyrhythms that combine arpeggios, scale passages and chord changes played on the keyboard. The Korg Trinity contributes sustaining voices and the Proteus 2500 some percussion and instrumental sounds.

We Seek Audiophile Perfection  Noise is the enemy of high quality music.  Remember that quiet and discrete sounds are ubiquitous in nature. Loud sounds are unusual and signal danger. Natural sounds are well defined and specific so that the identity of the source is quickly recognized. This appreciation of the qualities of natural sound is the basis of audiophile recording.  We have 25 years of experience with computer based sound recording and enjoy technology shop talk. We also have a well developed interest in how our brains process sounds. Our in house music production creates audiophile quality recordings presented as CD's, DVDs, singles and albums for Download.

Free Music Downloads are offered as music history, music appreciation, education and demonstrations of Persona Studio's arranging, recording and mastering techniques. All the recordings are completed in house by Stephen Gislason. The music selections and their history are explained in the book, Sound of Music.
