Steven Wilson Launches Headphone Dust: A New Audiophile Platform for High-Resolution Music
Steven Wilson, the prog superstar, has revealed his latest album, Impossible Tightrope: Live in Madrid, which will be the first release on his new audiophile platform, Headphone Dust. This platform will offer high-resolution, 5.1, and Atmos/spatial audio versions of Wilson's music. Along with the live album, Headphone Dust will also feature other releases such as The Raven That Refused to Sing and The Overview in new Dolby Atmos/Binaural Mixes, as well as Grace For Drowning in FLAC/Stereo & 5.1 formats.
Wilson expressed his excitement about launching Headphone Dust, stating that he has been planning to create an online platform dedicated to providing audiophile versions of his work. He emphasized the accessibility and permanence of high-resolution audio downloads compared to limited physical releases like Blu-rays. The platform will initially focus on his solo catalogue but aims to expand to include collaborations and other artists he has worked with in the future.
To mark the launch of Headphone Dust, an exclusive live album, Impossible Tightrope, is now available. This album captures the final concert of The Overview tour in Madrid, featuring a two-hour-plus show mixed in stereo, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos. Wilson mentioned that there are no plans for a physical release of this recording, making it exclusively available for download on Headphone Dust.
Fans can access Headphone Dust and explore the high-resolution audio offerings at headphonedust.store. The platform promises to be a hub for audiophiles to enjoy Wilson's music in immersive and top-quality formats, setting a new standard for experiencing his work.
