Ourselves, as we are by Carlos Cipa is a stunning and deeply emotive album that blends classical and modern elements into a seamless whole. The German composer and pianist draws from his background in both classical and experimental music to create a sound that is both timeless and innovative. The album is a reflection on the human condition, exploring themes of love, loss, and identity through hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate arrangements. From the soaring crescendos of "A Broken Light" to the introspective and melancholic "And Gently Drops the Rain," Ourselves, as we are is a masterful work of art that demands to be heard. Cipa's virtuosic piano playing is complemented by subtle electronic textures and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a deeply immersive listening experience. Ourselves, as we are is a testament to Cipa's talent as a composer and his ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
