Ultimate Sound Series Vol. 1. A definitive culmination from taiko master Eitetsu Hayashi. His first album in 18 years, with all tracks newly recorded, presents the fully matured sound world of Eitetsu Hayashi. Continuing the lineage of the audiophile-focused "Super Sound Adventure Series," the "Ultimate Sound Series" keeps pure "sound" at its core. This debut volume highlights Hayashi's signature odaiko power as astonishing ultra-deep bass, captured via DSD 11.2 MHz recording and 2-bit/352.8 kHz post-production. A seismic album that tests the limits of playback fidelity. Backed by Eitetsu Fuun no Kai delivering precise ensemble performances, and featuring special guests Dozan Fujiwara (shakuhachi) and Takao Tosha (nohkan), it offers a peerless sonic experience. Playback notice: Because the audio features extremely wide dynamic and frequency ranges, start at low volume. There is a risk of damaging speakers.
