Yukon musician and producer Matthew Lien has released 'Full Circle', his 25th album and most ambitious project to date. Curated from forty years of songwriting, the album features Lien’s signature blend of acoustic styles from folk to pop wrapped in lush environmental soundscapes.

The hallmark of this release is a breakthrough immersive format Lien developed specifically for earphone listening, which earned the 2021 Yukon University Innovation Prize. This production technique moves beyond traditional stereo fields to a binaural format that serves as a periscope for the ears.

Yukon musician/producer Matthew Lien has released his 25^th album and his most ambitious to date. Seven years in the making, Full Circle features many of Lien’s trademark characteristics spanning acoustic styles from folk to pop wrapped up in environmental soundscapes, and all of it has been produced in Lien’s new award-winning immersive format developed especially for earphones.

“When I first started recording in the 1980s, headphones were rarely used,” Lien said. “But with the proliferation of smartphones, they’re everywhere!”
