DVD-Audio release, total Content: 110 min. NTSC format, All Region. "Leading new-music composer Phil Kline debuts a major work on this new surround sound DVD. Heard here for the first time, this 65-minute studio composition was commissioned by Starkland to premiere on this high-resolution surround-sound DVD. Daze is Kline's longest work and biggest commission to date. Daze is also likely the largest work so far commissioned for a high-resolution surround-sound recording. Performers include the uber-cool Ethel string quartet and violin virtuoso Todd Reynolds. Surround-sound tracks place listeners inside wondrous boombox choirs, an ethereal Ethel string quartet, a weird madrigal, hyper-dense bells (hundreds of thousands at one point), richly mournful multi-tracked vocals, soaring violinistics, and an immersive environment of 15,000 African gray parrots. The release also offers a second Extras DVD with a composer-produced music video and a 30-minute interview with Kline and John Schaefer. The custom 5"x10" digipak includes a 24-page booklet. The two DVDs contain a total content of 110 minutes. This release follows Starkland's groundbreaking surround-sound Immersion DVD, now recognized as the first commissioned high-resolution surround-sound recording. Immersion won praise from Sound & Vision, Stereophile, Billboard, etc. and was the #1 best-selling DVD-Audio at Amazon for nearly a year. The main disc offers Daze in several formats for various home playback setups: the standard Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, DTS 5.1, and high-resolution audiophile DVD-Audio, as well as a stereo version. Playback of the Daze music is accompanied by over 80 images shot by Kline."

"This leading-edge DVD release allows 13 well-known composers to dramatically explore surround sound for the first time. The enveloping results are intense, exciting, haunting, beautiful. The 13 pieces here premiere on this recording -- they've never previously been heard anywhere. Because this DVD-Audio/Video recording, the first of its kind in history, breaks new ground both musically and technologically (all tracks commissioned for 5.1 channel surround sound). The world's best-known mastering engineer (Bob Ludwig) and the world's leading surround sound engineer (Tomlinson Holman) were both actively involved with this release." Artists include Pamela Z, Bruce Odland, Maggi Payne, Carl Stone, Phil Kline, Ellen Fullman, Lukas Ligeti, Paul Dresher, Pauline Oliveros, Paul Dolden, Merzbow, Ingram Marshall, Meredith Monk. "In this disc, a new genre of music is born." -- Kyle Gann.
