Immersive sound for The Matrix Live

Sounds and Motion recently worked with The Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) to deliver a true innovation in sound.  

The sci-fi thriller The Matrix was projected live on the big screen with Don Davis's score played by the orchestra in the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall. Using IOSONO's spatial audio processor we created an immersive sound experience for the movie's sound effects and dialogue - which made the audience feel like they were truly in the movie with sound moving around them! This was the second time the SSO has used IOSONO, the first being their Classical and Spectacular concert in June.

"In my role as consultant and engineer for the SSO’s amplified concerts within the Sydney Opera House, we’ve been working to make the sound from the live elements of these concerts feel in natural balance with the orchestra. As the leading 3D audio solution for live events IOSONO was chosen for The Matrix Live as we felt the sci-fi nature of the the film’s content would really lend itself to immersive sound" said Des O'Neill.
