Listening to in Dolby Atmos Streaming [Classical edition]

I thought Chip had given up on releasing anything but holiday music!

Good to know that Chip Davis is still active.
His back has been a wreck for decades, had to give up playing drums at Steamroller concerts.

“The Ambience Series,” is specifically designed for healing, wellness, and relaxation. Available for the first time mixed and mastered in Dolby Atmos by Abbey Road Studios, London, “The Ambience Series” combines natural sounds digitally captured in a 200-by-200-foot surround sound algorithm and coupled with Chip’s original music compositions. Utilizing the power of applied psychoacoustics, the resulting sounds transforms any space into an area that places you into a new “perceptual reality” — a soothing, comforting, and healing environment.

“Summer Song” Is the First Release in “The Ambience Series.

This musical masterpiece, recorded over many summer days, beautifully captures the development and passing of a thunderstorm. The music evolves, starting with Native American flutes and gradually growing in orchestration. ‘Summer Song’ will transport you to a Midwest Summer day, evoking a profound sense of nostalgia and tranquility. Experience this emotional journey in the Spatial Audio section on Apple Music, and immerse yourself in the Dolby Atmos mix on Amazon Music HD and Tidal.

The previous link is the orchestral version.

This one is the "music + ambience" version "natural sounds digitally captured in a 200-by-200-foot surround sound algorithm" referenced above.
See if it makes your listening room seem as big as all outdoors.
[Released on the first full day of summer 2024]

I never get tired of The Firebird--suite or complete ballet, original or revised--but do we really need yet another? From a conductor who's famous for his daring programming decisions and his championing of "difficult" music? According to the SF Chronicle, this is one of the final recordings we'll get of Esa-Pekka and the SFS, and possibly, the way things are going, one of the last ever releases from SFS Media at all.

A damn shame. The SFS board is short-sighted.

Lossless 5.0 vs lossy atmos is a tough call for me. I've always thought the BIS downloads were the best deal around but now

I don't remember seeing this one before

i found the different trains mix acceptable but not blown away (obviously the piece is incredible)

the electric counterpoint mix is absolutely perfect

There are abundant signs of Max Richter’s love of minimalism on In a Landscape. The album features 19 short musical episodes written for stripped-back forces—string quintet, grand piano, Hammond organ, and MiniMoog, plus tape delays, vocoders, and reverbs. Its 10 compositions are interlocked with “Life Studies,” ambient interludes featuring snippets of recordings from everyday life to create snapshots of Richter’s world.

“The title ‘In a Landscape’ can be heard in two ways: as it’s written, or as ‘in-ner landscape,’ as it sounds,” he explains to Apple Music Classical. “These are the kind of polarities that I’m exploring: between the external and the internal, electronic and instrumental, the technological world against the natural world.”

The album’s title is taken from maverick avant-gardist John Cage’s 1948 work for solo harp or piano, itself inspired by Erik Satie, and throughout Richter pays homage to the composers who have influenced him over the years. Along with the language of American minimalist composers such as Terry Riley and Philip Glass, who have made repetition an organizing feature of their work, and the beauty of everyday sounds that Cage himself explored, you’ll hear the influence of Baroque music—shades of Bach in the harmonies of “And Some Will Fall,” for example, and Purcellian sighs in “Late and Soon.”

I bumped into a 5.1 Aliud recording on chandos.net but it wasn't on sale (many are 50% off b/c closing the download store). So I checked on Apple Music, and it's in atmos

Encouraged, I found about a dozen more Aliuds in atmos including these

Nice! (But what in the world is keeping them from developing a desktop edition of this program!?!)

Seems to be a new addition
