SOME NOTES ON THE AUDIO/RECORDING PROCESS WE USED
The singular sound of “Dreamspace” comes from fusing two sonic goals. By using a number of different microphones in various positions and distances, we create a comprehensive perspective on the piano and Michael Mizrahi’s dynamic approach to performance, as well as a  realistic and life-like final “image” of the piano and Mizrahi’s playing. The listener is situated in a specific place in the performance space while simultaneously experiencing sounds that could be heard from a number of listener positions. Bringing those two goals into harmony, aiming for both a multi-perspective and realistic soundworld, is what leads to the sounds you are hearing.

Quotes & Reviews

“All the pieces here are world premiere recordings, and the sonic innovation with microphone placement and Mizrahi’s flawless playing makes for a multi-perspective and unique listening experience that you can’t not admire.” - Take Effect

“Mizrahi's playing is unerring and expressive throughout, and every technical challenge is met with authority. Despite details, tonal and otherwise, that differentiate one piece from another, Dreamspace ultimately registers less as a gathering of eight distinct works and instead a well-integrated suite…” - Ron Schepper, Textura
