HD+

Universal DVD data disk, mainly for playing on computers only (there is no NTSC or PAL format or region designation for data DVDs). HD+ is a data DVD documenting the visual aesthetics of Uwe Schmidt aka Atom TM for the first time. The conceptual engagement with and the critical yet diverting examination of pop music, delivered with a twinkle in the eye, is a central topic of this musician's diverse creative work and is certainly included in this visual presentation of it. Together with the second remix EP, Riding the Void (2015), HD+ marks the provisional completion of Atom TM's HD cycle. In addition to tracks from the HD album (R-N 147 CD), the video collection also contains other Atom TM recordings such as Streuung, originally released on Winterreise (R-N 140 CD), and tracks taken from external releases such as Praezision. In order to present the video material in high resolution and at the best quality, no special formatting was used, but for playing the videos, the following system requirements have to be met: OS: Mac OSX 10.5 or later, Windows 7 or later; processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster; RAM: minimum 2 GB; video RAM: minimum 512 MB. The following people helped realizing this complex work: vector rescanning renderings: Nathan Jantz; video tech advisor: Karl Kliem; video conversion: Nibo.
