We’re pleased to announce that composer John Luther Adams’ most recent album, Become Desert, has been selected as one of NPR’s best albums of the year. The engineering on this project was helmed by Dubway chief engineer Nathaniel Reichman, including the recording (a surround-style classical recording) and the immersive audio mix. Some of the Dubway staff had the opportunity to listen to this work in Dolby’s Manhattan show-studios on their immersive 30 channel theater system and can confirm that it’s certainly worth your listen – in stereo, surround, or an immersive format.
From NPR: “This is, simply put, one of the most stunning recordings of 2019.” Go listen!
