Time Travel Through Sound: How Old Tapes Become New Spaces
From Historical Multitracks to Immersive Music Productions
The inaugural lecture provides insight into the practice of modern music production using selected Dolby Atmos mixes of historical recordings by Falco. The starting point is analog multitrack recordings from the 1980s; their restoration, synchronization, and the reconstruction of the original mix lay the foundation for new immersive sound spaces. The lecture demonstrates how knowledge of historical production methods, technical developments, and artistic sound aesthetics interact—from working with digitized tape archives to the implementation of current immersive formats. A preview of a current production illustrates how these principles continue to apply in the present day.
