Title:  Anchortronic - 5.1. Laboratory For Updating Experimental Sound Artist:  Michael Strohmann, TV Pow, Alex Davies, NT, Electronicat, Stilluppsteypa, Efzeg, Andreas Berthling, Label:  Staalplaat Format:  DVD Price:  € 17.00   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Anchortronic is a Time's Up audio project in cooperation with Staalplaat. It is dedicated to experimental music, in particular the process oriented techniques which in their attitude and technique imply and even demand a radical DIY aesthetic.
A two year plan to research the capacity and possibilities of Surround Sound was set up and realized by inviting musicians, sound and video artists to a basic 5.1 audio studio at Time«s Up in Linz/Austria. The resulting 18 tracks examine the process of expanding from stereo to 6 audio channels, a process that does not simply satisfy itself with effect-mashing like one might know from various Hollywood Soundtracks or Music/Video DVD«s which succumb to a simply upscaled stereo idea. All tracks are uniquely composed for this format and take full advantage of the challenging situation of having 4 additional speakers to develop soundscapes, cutups, rock songs and electroschnitzels that live and breathe from the expanded technical structure.
Most of the tracks are visualized.

In addition to the AC-3 Surround Sound a binaural Headphone Mix is included for people without a home cinema setup. The mix gets pretty close to the original 6 speaker sound. Simply listen to it on your computer or dvd player via headphones.
