Dolby Presents Dolby Atmos Music and Post Malone, Exploring What Drives His Creativity and Desire to Connect with Fans
Post Malone shares his mind-blowing experience with Dolby Atmos Music and how it allowed him to hear things he has never heard before SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), a leader in immersive entertainment experiences, is unveiling the third short film of its Dolby Atmos Music campaign featuring global superstar, Post Malone, one of 2019's most streamed artists.
Experience Post Malones latest hit Circles today in Dolby Atmos on Echo Studio through Amazon Music HD.
For the next stop on our journey to redefine music, we take a ride with Post Malone to share his creative process and reaction to experiencing his own music in Dolby Atmos for the first time, said Todd Pendleton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Dolby Laboratories. Post said it best, I've never heard music like this.'
Spotlighting his latest hit Circles, which has been one of the top songs on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart, the film explores Post Malone's desire to connect with people through music and the journey behind his rise to success - from playing shows at SXSW with only a few people in the audience to performing at sold out stadiums across the world. Post Malone also shares how Dolby Atmos captured his emotions in a way that he has never felt before and how this platform will change how music is created and experienced. Fans can hear his latest hit, Circles, today in Dolby Atmos on Echo Studio through Amazon Music HD.
Listening in Dolby Atmos blew my mind. It is the coolest thing that's happened to me in a long time, said Post Malone. Stereo's been around forever, and this is something completely different. It's going to arm artists with a new way to get their ideas out. I've never heard anything like it.
The series has given millions of people around the world an intimate look into the creative minds of today's top artists to showcase their personal ethos, stories, and close relationship with fans. Dolby joined forces with these trailblazers in music because they inspire others by living unapologetically, and their art is leading culture. The campaign features real stories from each artist and highlights their latest singles. It's based on the insight that people want to feel a deeper connection with their favorite artists through music1, the kind a Dolby Atmos Music experience can authentically deliver.
The films were directed by the award-winning Toronto based director Karena Evans at m ss ng p eces. She is one of entertainment's most sought-after talents and is known for her cinematic, authentic, and narrative-focused directorial style. Karena is behind Drake's 2018 music video, God's Plan, and is revered for telling diverse, inclusive stories about the human condition.
The genesis of this campaign is inspired by Dolby's mission itself - a pure transmission of artist intention, said Karena Evans. We decided to approach this campaign unconventionally through interior monologues to explore the purity of thought and creativity. At its core, this is what Dolby Atmos is.
What is Dolby Atmos Music
Imagine if there were a way to connect with music at its fullest capacity and creative potential - not the way most people hear music today, but a version that pulls you into a song to reveal what was lost with traditional recordings. Dolby Atmos does just that. Whether it's a complex harmony of instruments placed around a listener, the unleashing of a legendary guitar solo, a massive bass drop that washes over you, or the subtle breath a singer takes, Dolby Atmos gives music more space and the freedom to unleash every detail and emotion as the artist intended.
How to experience Dolby Atmos Music
Dolby is working closely with artists, record labels, streaming services, and consumer electronics manufacturers to make Dolby Atmos Music experiences widely accessible. Two of the world's largest record labels - Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group - have announced plans to release tracks in Dolby Atmos from some of the biggest names in music. You can enjoy music in Dolby Atmos via Amazon Music HD on Echo Studio, at your local Dolby Cinema or in your home through movies released in Dolby Atmos, on special released albums available on Blu-ray, or at a number of night clubs around the world where electronic musicians are performing live in Dolby Atmos.
