We at OSV came across the name Paul de Benedictis via his work in PR with audio engineering companies. He’s a good dude, and he knows a heck of a lot about the intersection of music and technology.
It’s rare that someone well-versed in audio engineering also composes and performs music, however. Some engineers will dabble, but few are willing to take the leap and publish their own music.
If an audio engineer were to publish their own music, of course they’d be sure to have the best instruments and the best equipment. So it comes as no surprise that de Benedictis’ solo piano album “Power of One” was recorded on a hundred-year-old Blüthner Aliquot piano. Don’t know what that is? Want to find out? You’ll learn all that and more, after the jump. (more…)
