Asymmetric|MP3 001 - In Parallel - 5th January 2004 Inigo Kennedy announces the launch of Asymmetric|MP3 - a new project to take advantage of the freedom of electronic distribution and make available MP3 releases of his distinctive music. Free MP3 releases will regularly be made available via the Asymmetric website at www.asymmetric.co.uk The title of the first release is In Parallel and this outlines the aims of the Asymmetric|MP3 project. The MP3 releases do not substitute for the vinyl or CD releases but will run alongside as both projects should inspire, support, strengthen and reinforce one and other. The MP3 releases are planned to perhaps introduce different ideas and may, in the future, also include alternative versions of tracks that have been or will be released on vinyl or CD. The first release In Parallel consists of four new tracks. All of which touch on, and build upon, the distinctive elements that have made Asymmetric releases stand out in the past. The MP3s will be encoded using LAME at an average bit rate of 192Kb/s in full stereo mode. Alternative versions will not be made available. The aim is to release MP3s of high quality to do justice to the music rather than compromise for the sake of small file size. The quality of the MP3s as they are released should be sufficient to sound good on anything from headphones to a large sound system via Final Scratch, etc. Details of Asymmetric can be found at www.asymmetric.co.uk Further information regarding Inigo Kennedy and details of his other projects can be found at www.inigokennedy.com For more information regarding this press release please contact asymmetric@inigokennedy.com To close this window click here.
