Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award-winning composer John Luther Adams is nearing the final stretches of work on his newest upcoming release, Houses of the Wind, with Dubway lead engineer Nathaniel Reichman. As with all of Adams’s music, the album is set to release on Cold Blue Music, and will likely be available some time this spring.

Most recently, the tracks from Adams’s ensemble’s principal recording sessions were edited in-studio by staff engineer Keenan DuBois to remove any extraneous performance noises. For many types of highly dynamic, delicate music, all performance noises–things like chair scrapes, rustling, coughs or sneezes, and other similar intrusions– are carefully removed from the recordings using a variety of digital editing tools. Dubway’s staff are well experienced in this type of editing from the work we do in TV/film dialogue, post-production, location audio recording and cleanup, and digitization/tape restoration, as well as in musical applications like this project.

We can’t wait to hear what these mixes sound like when they’re finished! Keep an eye on the Cold Blue Music (linked above) website for more release date news.
