empreintes DIGITALes won’t be turning 20 before January 2010. This won’t stop us in starting to celebrate right now with our 100th disc! The trans_canada festival at the ZKM in 2005 was centered around 8 new works by as many Canadian composers: Nicolas Bernier, Darren Copeland, Francis Dhomont, Louis Dufort, Gilles Gobeil, Robert Normandeau, Barry Truax, and Hildegard Westerkamp. The trans_canada DVD-Audio finally brings these works together in 24-bit high definition sound in both stereo and Surround 5.1.
