Cookie Marenco, founder of Blue Coast Records, recorded, mixed and mastered the album using her proprietary recording technique called Extended Sound Environment (E.S.E.) that includes recording the musicians in the studio without headphones or overdubs onto DSD or analog tape. Into the Mist was recorded in a single take using the E.S.E technique and the new SACD will be the subject of an upcoming review.
The L.A. Audio Show is an event for audiophiles and others who have a passion for music, sound and audio gear that will be demonstrated by hundreds of manufacturers. Throughout the show, Blue Coast Records will host a number of its artists at the event for discussions of their music and the Blue Coast recording techniques. There will also be a special, customized event for friends and supporters of Into the Mist with exclusive access to the Sony-sponsored Hi-Resolution Magic Bus. While it won’t be traveling anywhere, this vehicle promises to take visitors on a stunning sound journey!
