CitiTrax is a collection dedicated to those people who need precise control
over the urban environment. But don't be fooled by the name. CitiTrax brings
you into the total city experience.
CitiTrax is real. It is gritty. It is HOT. There's no staging. Hundreds of
hours of full spectral stereo recordings made on location, on DAT, were pared
down to the finest 10 hours of environment ever made. the city comes alive on
CitiTrax! The sequences are long and allow you to fill out full scenes without
the looping process to slow you down. Right from Disk 1, the grit of the city
jumps into your face with busy sidewalks. Two tracks later there will be a
different version with the added dimension of footsteps. They're real and
honest, (NOT over-done and phony). You can almost tell the pedestrian is
wearing a pair of Bass loafers from the clicking heels as he moves into
perspective and then passes by on a track that's almost 3 minutes long.
The traffic roars by, as horns honk. The sound of jackhammers and a passing
police car add to the full stereo spectrum, completing the aural illusion. The
camera passes into the doorway of a department store and the sound crossfades
from urban noise to a shopping mall interior. It doesn't matter if you're on
film, video, or radio the sound effects in CitiTrax become the environment, and
with your talent and vision, the dream becomes true.
