WCPE and Quail Ridge Present Zenph Sound Innovations
TheClassicalStation.org Features “Live” Re-Performance™ of Gershwin
Click here to listen to Tara Lynn's Preview! Interview with Dr. Larkin & Dr. Amalong
Wake Forest, N.C. (July 28, 2011) - WCPE Community and Arts Liaison Tara Lynn announces the August edition of the WCPE Local Arts Series in collaboration with Quail Ridge Books and Music. Meet Dr. Anatoly Larkin and critically-acclaimed pianist Philip Amalong at Quail Ridge Books and Music on August 11, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. and experience a Re-Performance™ by George Gershwin synchronized with some of the earliest film recorded with sound. Mr. Amalong will perform the written music and demonstrate the surprising contrasts between what Gershwin published and what he recorded. This free event is at Quail Ridge Books and Music, 3522 Wade Avenue, Raleigh, NC.
Zenph takes audio recordings and turns them back into live performances, precisely replicating what was originally recorded but with vastly-improved sound quality. Through Zenph’s ground-breaking technology, the audience can listen to Gershwin play his works precisely as he did 82 years ago. The re-performance will be played on a state-of-the-art Yamaha Disklavier concert grand piano.

By understanding the nuances of an individual musical style as a digital “signature,” Zenph’s technology enables the re-imagining of the entire music industry. The company’s work was named one of the “Best Ideas of the Year” by The New York Times Magazine and has received multiple GRAMMY® nominations.
