About Us
HD for your Ears
Zenph® Studios is a software company that
specializes in the algorithms and processes for understanding
- and re-creating - precisely how musicians perform.
Based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina,
a team of software engineers, researchers, and professional
musicians has successfully accomplished what has been dreamed for years.
Thousands have thrilled to
re-performances®
by famed musicians staged in large halls.
From the data that describe these note-perfect re-performances,
we make clear, modern recordings.
Great-sounding new recordings can be tailored for any acoustic,
for example,
for the latest in surround sound or headphone listening.
Zenph's first commercial offering is creating the data behind the music,
working with the record labels
to make great-sounding recordings of performances you love.
Sony BMG's amazing
new recordings
of Glenn Gould's playing of his famed
1955 Goldberg Variations afresh in
Toronto's Glenn Gould Studio
are now available worldwide.
(And we say "recordings" in plural, since the one disc contains
versions from three different perspectives.)
Sony's new album of
Art Tatum's Piano Starts Here
re-performance was released in June 2008.
The work we’re doing will change every aspect of music production
in the coming years.
Instead of working the way Edison did in the 1800’s – dealing
with sound waves recorded in the air – we can now use the power
of computer engineering to replicate exactingly what musicians do as they play.
Re-performances can be played and recorded again any time,
on different instruments, in any venue, in front of any microphones.
We’re
separating musicians’ performances from their original recording
medium, bringing to music the power that word processing has brought
to writing.
