I would like to personally thank Anthony Baldino, Ann Chang, Arthur Chang, Jess Hewitt, Neil Leonard, Daria Trevisan and Pierce Warnecke for the hard work, friendship, and good times this June. And a special thanks to my wife Margaret for keep me in clean clothes and common sense throughout the journey....
Ann, Jess, Anthony, Daria, Neil, Gary, Pierce, and Art at La Marrana.

Tara Labs provided the audio and power interconnects for the Sanctuaries Project. This included individual power and audio cables for each speaker, power bars and a 3000Watt(!) transformer for conversion to 120v. (The wiring system design was conceived with future installations of Sanctuaries in the US in mind, so the power cabling was fitted for 120v rather than 220v...). Thanks to Rebecca Barnhardt and the engineers at Tara for their efforts in our favor.
Blue Sky Monitors provided the 5.1 speaker system for the Sanctuaries Tour. This consisted of 5 x Blue Sky SAT 6.5 satellite speakers, 1 Blue Sky SUB 15 subwoofer, a BMC Mk II bass management system, and 5 of "The Stand" adjustable speaker stands. The 5.1 playback system performed superbly in all of the various spaces that we installed them in - including outdoors at San Galgano, where they were especially rich sounding.
A Soundfield SP422b Microphone was used to record the program at the various locations, and to sweep each of the spaces for creating virtual models of the rooms via the use of convolution reverb technology. Because the Soundfield mic is a single point microphone that later, when decoded yeilds up to 7.1 playback, it greatly simplified the set up and calibration for recording.
