Party With the World-- A Special Live Recording Event Upload 96K to the Internet in 3 hours!

On Saturday, July 25 at 9pm, Blue Coast Records will release music recorded live by Jenna Mammina and Matt Rollings just hours before launch. Cookie Marenco will engineer and produce the sessions that will be available as 96K downloads at Blue Coast Records. Jenna Mammina is well known for her pop vocal stylings and emotionally gut wrenching arrangements of tunes from Warren Zevon to James Taylor to Duke Ellington. Matt Rollings, the keyboard genius behind the scenes with the likes of Lyle Lovett and Mark Knopfler, will be accompanying Ms Mammina on piano.

Blue Coast Records is sponsoring the recorded event using their critically acclaimed proprietary technique called Extended Sound Environment. E.S.E captures a sound more lifelike and holographic than most recordings of today. Recording to analog multitrack and mixing to a high resolution digital format called DSD, these live in the studio recordings will have a limited audience of friends and audiophiles present to experience the sound first hand.

Anticipated are songs by Warren Zevon, George Harrison, John Mayer and others, several of which will be uploaded immediately after recording and available for sale at 9pm. The Bay Area Audiophile Society will have representatives at the session along with friends of the artists.

From Saturday night to Monday morning, we will put the new 96K singles on sale for $2 per song. After that, they will return to $3. You can check out Jenna's previous recordings with Matt at http://www.bluecoastworld.com/jenna-mammina/meanttobe and http://www.bluecoastworld.com/jenna-mammina/undertheinfluence

Is the World Ready for a $40 Disc?

From Press Release June 4, 2008

Blue Coast Records and Burnside Distribution announced the debut of the critically acclaimed music disc, Blue Coast Collection, making it now available via brick and mortar and online music outlets for the price of $40 USD. While some have balked at the cost of the disc, the audiophile community has embraced it as some of the most realistic acoustic music recorded to date. Using a proprietary recording technique, Extended Sound Environment (E.S.E.), the newly founded San Francisco label creates audio that is holographic. The release is an SACD hybrid disc that has the stereo CD layer, a surround sound SACD layer and an SACD two-track layer on one disc.
