Abstract
This concept album, developed in collaboration with a former Berklee student and an cover art illustrator, is based on the theme of the eternal question of human existence and the idea of other beings existing somewhere in the universe. The primary goal is to enhance audience engagement and comprehension by utilising Dolby Atmos technology, creating a 360-degree auditory immersive experience. This project harmoniously blends sound design with classical music, reflecting the author’s diverse background, and additionally, the production strives to incorporate and record instruments deriving from various traditions, including those less conventional, further enriching the project’s sonic tapestry. Throughout the project, various methodologies are employed to weave a narrative through music and visuals, aiming to captivate and immerse the audience. This work made use of tools such as creative production, hybrid recording, and mixing techniques. This album features achievements throughout the application of new techniques and involves collaboration with artists from different countries. The project’s conclusion highlights the acquisition of new skills, unexpected challenges, and its contribution to the fusion of storytelling, music, and technology, paving the way for an exciting future prospects in the world of audio storytelling.
