How the Joe Grado HOLOGRAPHIC SCALERA SCANNER Works
TO DESCRIBE THE HOLOGRAPHIC SCALERA SCANNER OBJECTIVELY FOR THE MOMENT, I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS AN ULTRA SONIC, EXTREMELY HIGH DENSITY SCANNING SYSTEM, CONSISTING OF TWO SCANNING UNITS THAT OPERATE
SYMETRICALLY TO EACH OTHER TO CREATE A TRULY HOLOGRAPHIC SOUND IMAGE. WHEN PROPERLY SYNCHRONIZED TO EACH OTHER THEY ARE EASILY CAPABLE OF CAPTURING FOR LIVE BROADCAST OR RECORDING PURPOSES, A SIGNAL DENSITY OF OF BILLIONS OF BITS, WITH A RECORDING PICKUP PATTERN OF 360X360 DEGREES IN ANY DIRECTION AND RAZOR SHARP RESOLUTION, WITH SPACIAL DIMENSION TO MATCH. IT MUST BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED.
AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE THE AUDIENCE BOTH SEES AND HEARS WHAT IS GOING ON.THE VISUAL INFORMATION AND THE HEARING INFORMATION BOTH GO TO THE BRAIN AND ARE PROCESSED TO CREATE AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE TO THE LISTENER.IT IS THIS EMOTIONAL COMMUNICATION THAT MAKES THE LIVE PERFORMANCE SO PLEASURABLE.
WHY DO I CALL MY CREATION HOLOGRAPHIC ? HOLOGRAPHIC REQUIRES A PICTORIAL IMAGE. WHERE IS THE PICTORIAL IMAGE IN THE RECORDINGS MADE BY MY RECORDING SYSTEM?
RATHER THAN TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS IN RECORDINGS MADE WITH THE HOLOGRAPHIC SCALERA SCANNER, LET ME INSTEAD RECOUNT A STORY THAT PETER MCGRATH THE NOTED RECORDING ENGINEER TOLD TO ME.
WHEN NOT CREATING TRULY GREAT RECORDINGS, PETER VERY SUCESSFULLY SELLS THE VERY IMPRESSIVE DAVE WILSON LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS.
AT A DEMONSTRATION OF THE WILSON SPEAKERS IN POLAND, PETER WAS USING
A RECORDING MADE WITH THE HSS SYSTEM OF THE OUTSTANDING RUSSIAN PIANIST VALENTINA LISITSA.
THE AUDIENCE CONSISTED OF A GROUP OF VERY HIGH END DEALERS WHO WERE ALSO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ARDENT MUSIC LOVERS.
PETER SAID THAT HE DECIDED TO USE A SELECTION OF THE ARTIST LISITSA PLAYING A VERY DIFFICULT BEETHOVEN SELECTION, THE HAMMER KAVLIER.
PETER STARTED THE MUSIC AND WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS HE HEARD SOMEONE BEHIND HIM SOBBING. HE TURNED AROUND TO LOOK AND YES, A GENTLEMAN WAS SITTING THERE WITH HIS EYES CLOSED SOBBING AWAY. PETER ASKED HIM IF HE WAS ALRIGHT.THE GENTLEMAN NODDED YES. PETER ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING HE COULD DO TO HELP AND THE GENTLEMAN SAID NO. PETER WAS CONCERNED AND FURTHER INQUIRED AND THE GENTLEMAN SAID THAT HE DIDN’T THINK PETER WOULD UNDERSTAND. PETER, IN EFFECT SAID “ TRY ME “.
THE GENTLEMAN TOLD PETER THAT WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG BOY HIS MOTHER WAS A PREMIER PIANIST WITH THE WARSAW SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND EVERY MORNING SHE WOULD PLAY THIS PARTICULAR BEETHOVEN PIECE ON HER GRAND PIANO. SHE TOLD HIM THAT ANYONE WHO LEARNED TO PLAY THIS PIECE PROPERLY COULD PLAY ANYTHING.
WHEN PETER STARTED PLAYING HIS RECORDING OF VALENTINA LISITSA HE SAID HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND THE SOUND WAS SO REAL AND THE COMMUNICATION SO POWERFUL THAT WITHOUT ANY INTENT ON HIS PART THE PICTURE OF HIS MOTHER PLAYING THEIR CONCERT STEINWAY GRAND ENTERED HIS MIND AND SHE CAME TO LIFE BEFORE HIS VERY EYES. IT WAS SO REAL THAT HE WAS JUST TOTALLY CARRIED AWAY. THE IMAGE OF HIS MOTHER AND THE SOUND OF HER PLAYING JUST OVERWHELMED HIM AND THAT HE COULDN’T CONTAIN HIMSELF AND BROKE DOWN.
THIS MAN WAS EXPERIENCING A TOTAL EMOTIONAL COMMUNICATION AND EXPERIENCE FROM THE PLAYBACK OF A CD RECORD, RECORDED WITH THE JOE GRADO HOLOGRAPHIC SCALERA SCANNER.
THE ABILITY OF A RECORDING MADE WITH THE JOE GRADO HSS SYSTEM TO CREATE A MENTAL PICTURE IN THE LISTENER’S MIND IS WHY I CALL IT THE HOLOGRAPHIC RECORDING SYSTEM.
THE MENTAL IMAGE SUBSTITUTES FOR THE VISUAL IMAGE ONE SEES AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE LIVE PERFORMANCE VISUAL, ADDED TO THE LIVE PERFORMANCE SOUND, CREATE A TOTAL COMMUNICATION, RESULTING IN A TRUE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. IN AN HSS HOLOGRAPHIC RECORDING. THE MENTAL IMAGE CREATED SUBSTITUTES FOR THE LIVE VISUAL IMAGE. THE HSS MENTAL IMAGE ADDED TO THE HSS SOUND IMAGE, CREATES A NATURAL,TOTAL COMMUNICATION. THE FINAL RESULT IS BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO A CD AT HOME WITH THE FULL PLEASURE OF BEING AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE.
WHEN USING TWO HSS HOLGRAPHIC SYSTEMS YOU CAN EASILY MAKE A DISCRETE FOUR CHANNEL RECORDING WHICH WILL GIVE YOU AN ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS “COMPLETE SURROUND SOUND RECORDING“ THE BIT DENSITY IS SO HUGE AND SOUND SO NATURAL AND COMPLETE THAT NO ENCODING OR DECODING IS NECESSARY. AND IT WILL PLAY ON A TWO CHANNEL OR FOUR CHANNEL SYSTEM OR ON ANY CONVENTIONAL SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM.
THE INTERESTING THING IS THAT WHEN YOU HEAR THE DISCRETE FOUR CHANNEL HSS RECORDING SYSTEM THAT REQUIRES NO MAINTENANCE, NO CONSTANT RECALIBRATING, NO ENCODING. NO DECODING,NO LICENCING, INFINITELY BETTER SOUND AND CAN BE USED IN ANY ENVIRONMENT FROM TV SITCOMS TO BIG FOOTBALL GAMES,NO BOOM SETUPS ARE NECESSARY AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. WHO IN HIS RIGHT MIND NEEDS ALL THE HEADACHES OF SURROUND SOUND RECORDING ALONG WITH ITS LESS THAN PERFECT RESULTS, WHEN THE NEW HSS HOLOGRAPHIC SOUND SYSTEM IS READY AND DELIVERIES HAVE ALREADY STARTED.
DOING ANY KIND OF RECORDING WITH THE HOLOGRAPHIC SCALERA SCANNER IS VERY EASY AND NOT COMPLICATED IN ANY WAY. AND OH YES, VERY REWARDING!!
