"Justin Gray, who teaches audio production Humber, produced his album, Immersed, in one of the college's production studios. He said he found out about the nomination while sitting in the same room. I rarely get butterflies, Gray said. But something about this one, especially being original, being something that has been near and dear to me for such a long time, I got that feeling."
"It's nominated in the Grammy category of Best Immersive Audio Album, which celebrates music produced for multichannel sound. It's sometimes described as 3D music, Gray said. The idea is that we can present sound from in front of us, beside us, and above, he said. The category is not meant to celebrate the fanciest mix or the most aggressive use of the speakers, he said. It's meant to represent and recognize music that has used this technology to come to life."
"The album, and its accompanying film, feature 38 artists. Gray said most are from the GTA, but represent cultures from around the world. Many of them Gray's known for years. It really was an opportunity to bring together this musical family that happens to cross over multiple musical genres and musical cultures that are a part of my own musicianship and my own musical journey, he said."
Justin Gray, a Toronto musician and Humber Polytechnic audio production professor, produced Immersed in a college production studio. The album, released in August after about three-and-a-half years of work, is nominated for Best Immersive Audio Album, a Grammy category celebrating multichannel, 3D-style sound presentation. Immersed and its accompanying film feature 38 artists, most from the GTA and representing cultures from around the world. Contributors include vocalists and composers such as Suba Sankaran and Drew Jurecka, who expressed pride in participating. Gray described the project as a musical family crossing genres and cultures and felt strong emotional excitement upon learning of the nomination.
