Combining the Qobuz standard of 24-bit audio clarity with \u200b\u200bthe \u201clive\u201d feeling of THX Spatial Audio, each original song was recorded to give listeners the feeling of literally being in a space with the performers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Listen to \u201cDouble Dare\u201d by Circuit des Yeux to experience the all-enveloping, concert-hall-like immersive drama that she evokes with THX Spatial Audio &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/open.qobuz.com\/album\/ovrny1hr3vkgc?utm_source=press&amp;utm_medium=release&amp;utm_campaign=thx-spatial\">HERE<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Listen to \u201cCalling Vic Juris\u201d by Anat Cohen to hear another dimension of THX Spatial Audio\u2013that creates an extreme sense of intimacy and approachability &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/open.qobuz.com\/album\/j8ntevchp7c4a?utm_source=press&amp;utm_medium=release&amp;utm_campaign=thx-spatial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Listen to \u201cWhenever You\u2019re Ready\u201d by Dinosaur Jr. in THX Spatial Audio and you\u2019ll hear crunchy overdriven guitars and unique movement within the song for a satisfying, dynamic, immersive listening experience &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/open.qobuz.com\/album\/qcyjpxm95v23b?utm_source=press&amp;utm_medium=release&amp;utm_campaign=thx-spatial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Haley Fohr of Circuit des Yeux said of recording \u201cDouble Dare:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cDouble Dare\u201d is a song filled with immense power. Listening to it helps decimate my fear. My favorite part about the CdY interpretation of \u201cDouble Dare\u201d is the way Whitney (Johnson) represents the screeching guitar part with a viola and overdrive pedal. The way the harmonics and feedback bounces and resonates around in THX Spatial Audio feels like being in the eye of a tornado. If \u201cDouble Dare\u201d is an anecdote to fear, this cover of \u201cDouble Dare\u201d in THX Spatial Audio ups the dosage.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Anat Cohen said of recording \u201cCalling Vic Juris:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201d<em>I recorded \u201cCalling Vic Juris\u201d with Gilad Hekselman, a song that he wrote in honor of the great jazz guitarist Vic Juris who passed away in 2019. Vic was a wonderful musician and person who inspired many listeners, students and colleagues including myself and Gilad. We recorded the song as an acoustic duo and then added layers of clarinet and guitar. The THX Spatial Audio format amplifies the building momentum heard as the track progresses, especially ~3.5 minutes in when the clarinet tracks soar with and above the multiple layers of guitars. With this audio format I could express the influences of both the acoustic and electric worlds we breathe. I was grateful to work on this project alongside THX and Qobuz, two companies committed to providing a high quality music listening experience, allowing us to bring our intimate studio experience directly to the ears of listeners. I would like to thank Oded Lev-Ari for his expert ears and wisdom. And of course &#8211; Gilad Hekselman, a musician I love collaborating with on any occasion.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The THX Spatial Audio tracks follow previous Qobuz exclusive releases with Christian McBride, Zappa Records, Mercury KX, Tower of Power, and more, to solidify Qobuz\u2019s reputation as the destination for true music lovers who want their streaming service to care about the same artists, details, and quality that they value. The new tracks join other Qobuz offerings, such as digital liner notes, exclusive deep-dive essays, and artist-curated playlists, to give it an immersive, boutique-in-a-superstore-world feel that\u2019s unique in the field. Rolling Stone said, \u201c\u2026finding new music on Qobuz is a bit like visiting a record shop, hearing from the owner and just listening to albums.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new THX Spatial Audio relationship marks the second partnership between Qobuz and THX Ltd. Previously, the two companies worked to increase consumer access to 24-bit Hi-Res quality by creating a promotional offer with THX\u2019s first consumer DAC\/Amp (digital-to-analog amplifier dongle), the THX Onyx\u2122. This offer is still available and includes three months of Qobuz with the purchase of the THX Onyx bringing seamless, plug-and-play Hi-Res listening to more music lovers than ever before.
