March 22, 2023 — Last fall, Mountain Home Music Company and Organic Recordsbecame the first labels in the bluegrass world to jump into the world of immersive audio, mixing select singles in the Dolby Atmos format supported by Amazon Music Unlimited, TIDAL and, as “Spatial Audio” on Apple Music. This process began with the release of about a dozen tracks in Dolby Atmos — and has continued with more singles and even full albums being mixed in the format.
Now, in an exciting new development, TIDAL has created an official, TIDAL-branded and -promoted playlist, Bluegrass: Dolby Atmos — and, with the labels’ leadership in this space, it consists entirely of Mountain Home and Organic Recordsreleases.
The labels are excited by this tremendous opportunity to excite current listeners and to attract new audiences to both the genre and experiencing it in immersive audio.
Allowing listeners to feel as if they’re inside the song itself, Dolby Laboratories’ Dolby Atmos is familiar to many from its “surround sound” application in thousands of movie theaters. It is described by the respected sound technology innovator as “revealing depth, clarity and details like never before….a sound experience you can feel all around you.”
As Dolby Atmos has been embraced from the music producing side, so have audio system manufacturers moved to supply listeners with devices that can deliver the immersive experience. Audio produced in Dolby Atmos adapts automatically to your Atmos-compatible device and system to give you an all-enveloping sound experience you would not expect, “revealing every detail of the music with unparalleled clarity and depth.”
