Hello again Mr Kimber!
(I was hoping you were lurking....) The IsoMike recordings are certainly remarkable successes (and you are very fortunate to have captured the music-making of the Fry Street Quartet!). Yours are the only Demo Discs I have ever considered collectible.
I had been thinking that the essence of the improvement in recording was the geometry, i.e. the single-point miking (split into 2 or more channels of course). The shape of the baffles also shows considerable thought and/or experiment -- but I am surprised that the internal materials/construction is so important. Would you elaborate for the more technical-minded (lurking recording engineers)?
Hi Beagle,
LOL, not so much lurking as much as occasionally dropping by. I was surprised that the new disc was listed so quickly on sa-cd.net, very effecient!
Thank you very much for the kind words and kudos! We have the Fry Street and Robert Silverman on the schedule for full recordings before the end of this year. And there will be some cool surprises at some point also.
The newest project is to record The Blue Knights of Denver. This will occur on Sunday July 29th at Weber State University, in the football stadium in the late afternoon and/or early evening - anyone can drop by for this one. The 4-channel IsoMike will be on a 60' boom arm so hopefully we can get a good location. This one should be pure energy!
I type so slowly that to describe the construction typed out would kick my butt.
Do you ever get to any of the US trade or HiFi Shows. We will be at RMAF in Denver this year and at CES in January.
Kind regards,
Ray

My box of IsoMikes arrived today, SonoLumina and 3 more demos. I'm sitting up late listening to SonoLumina, and it is just as thrilling as I had hoped.
All through the redbook years I thought of 'ensemble' as a blending together of sound. Here I am listening to the two winds and three strings as five distinct musical ideas in the mind of the composer (Martinu). In the bad old days one sometimes strained to hear the cello pizzicati at all, but on this disc one hears the shaping of each note (very subtle, Jesús Morales is a very subtle guy).
The music is the listenable 20th C. stuff, largely 'neoclassical'.

Can someone outside the USA get their hand on an Isomike album?
