Music defies description. Even musical notation, while
attempting to document a piece of music, must ultimately defer to
the artist. When the music can only be realized through artistic
intervention, a fermata is notated. The fermata is where the precision
of the score bows to the creative judgment of the musician.
At fermata, we live at the
intersection of things musical, and things technical. But the technology
always serves the art. The precision of our acoustical analysis and
the detailed care in our recording practices strive to support the
music.
