Calling Vic Juris (THX Spatial Audio version)

Langue disponible : anglais

THX and Qobuz have collaborated with Anat Cohen to transform conventional audio experiences into unbelievable 360 degree sound with THX Spatial Audio.

Available to anyone listening from a device of their choice over any headphones, THX Spatial Audio uses advanced signal processing to place sounds "out of the head" and transform conventional audio with realistic acoustics ensuring a unique listening experience, whether simulating a recording studio or an authentic virtual environment.

"Calling Vic Juris" was created with an immersive audio experience in mind. Combining the Qobuz standard of 24-bit audio clarity with ​​the "live" feeling of THX Spatial Audio, each original song was recorded to give listeners the feeling of literally being in a space with the performers.

Anat Cohen said of the process, "I recorded 'Calling Vic Juris' with Gilad Hekselman, a song that he wrote in honor of the great jazz guitarist Vic Juris who passed away in 2019. Vic was a wonderful musician and person who inspired many listeners, students and colleagues including myself and Gilad. We recorded the song as an acoustic duo and then added layers of clarinet and guitar. The THX spatial audio format amplifies the building momentum heard as the track progresses, especially around three-and-a-half minutes in when the clarinet tracks soar with and above the multiple layers of guitars. With this audio format I could express the influences of both the acoustic and electric worlds we breathe. I was grateful to work on this project alongside THX and Qobuz, two companies committed to providing a high quality music listening experience, allowing us to bring our intimate studio experience directly to the ears of listeners. I would like to thank Oded Lev-Ari for his expert ears and wisdom. And of course - Gilad Hekselman, a musician I love collaborating with on any occasion."
