The Immanuel 12" Vinyl is the first physical offering of my work. The total production count is limited to 1,000 units, and I spared no expense in ensuring that every element was produced at the highest quality possible.
Instead of outsourcing the creation of Immanuel to a one stop shop, I chose to hire a variety of artisans to complete each individual component over the course of a year and then had the final package assembled in the United States after the records were pressed.
What you're investing in was thoughtfully and lovingly assembled by hand every step of the way by people who are at the top of their respective crafts. At nearly 2 pounds (1 kg) in weight, this is one of the heaviest and best produced vinyl record packages I've ever held in my hands. Excellence was my standard from the beginning and I did not compromise throughout the production process.
There were 100 autographed records available, but they’ve all sold. However, the original version is the same product - just not signed!
+ 180g high quality double sided audiophile grade record pressed by Record Technology, Inc in Camarillo, CA - 33 1/3 RPM
SIDE A: Immanuel, Butterflies (Piano Sonata) (21 minutes runtime)
SIDE B: Nocturne in Paris, Under the Heavens & Ariana (20 minutes runtime)
+ All songs were mastered for vinyl by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Los Angeles, CA. I reviewed reference masters from different mastering engineers before signing off on Chris' work. These records really do sound more dimensional than the digital counterparts.
