글로벌 퍼커션 네트웤 / rauk
sacd 22011 multichannel / hybrid

sacd의 기술적 근간이 되는 완벽한 dsd(direct stream digital) 방식으로 녹음된 최초의 기념비적 앨범인 글로벌 퍼커션 네트웤의 앨범 [rauk]!!! 평단의 비상한 주목을 받은 오르간과 퍼커션의 만남인 앨범 [live at vattnajokul]로 명성을 날린 anders astrand가 2000년에 결성한 글로벌 퍼커션 네트웤은 타악기 연주를 들려주는 그룹으로서 마림바, 비브라폰 등 멜로디가 중심이 되는 악기들을 주로 사용하는 동시에 재즈적인 즉흥연주로 다른 타악기 그룹과는 차원이 다른 고품격 연주를 들려주고 있습니다. 특히 각각의 타악기들이 녹음 당시에 sacd의 멀티채널을 최대한 지원하게끔 배려된 만큼 sacd의 기술적 특성을 가장 확실하게 느끼실 수 있는 앨범으로 오디오 매니아 분들게 자신있게 추천해 드립니다.

we are glad to present the first opus 3 sacd-multichannel recording made in pure dsd! (direct stream digital, the new format that is the basis for sacd) global percussion network is a newly formed percussion group whose music is quite different compared to what you normally associate with percussion music. the group mainly base their music on the "melodic" percussion, marimba and vibraphone, and are at the same time very melodic and rhythmic, with a lot of free improvisation and with flavors of jazz. all pieces are arranged in order to take the advantage of those possibilities that sacd multichannel (surround) offers. this new technique has also been a major source of inspiration for those pieces that have been chosen for this recording.
global percussion network was formed 2000 by the composer and musician anders åstrand, one member of the duo åstrand/wager who recorded the quite special organ/percussion album, "live at vattnajökul" (cd 19802) on opus 3 and that was recorded in iceland 1998.
