This is the latest recording from Chasing The Dragon. I have to say that the dynamic range and the beauty of this piece performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Inglis with Katerina Nazarova as leader, has to be heard to be believed!

Binaural Head

Here we have chosen Mendelssohn’s wonderful octet performed by The Locrian Ensemble for our latest recording. The musicians are all soloists in their own right, however, they are led by the ubiquitous violinist, Jack Liebeck.

The recording has also given us the opportunity to compare a variety of microphone techniques which we do in the second half of the album. You can compare valve vs transistor mics and the sound of 1/2” tape running at 30 IPS vs digital at 24 /192.

We hope you have as much fun in listening to the album, as we had in making it for you.
