226 - Daft Punk in Dolby Atmos - Reimagining the Classics

Nine-time GRAMMY Award®-winning audio engineer Mick Guzauski and Robert Guzman, audio engineer at Studio DMI, join guest host Ben Givarz to discuss their work reimagining Daft Punk's iconic album “Random Access Memories,” in Dolby Atmos® for its 10th Anniversary Edition.

Mick takes us back to the album’s original recording sessions, sharing how he and Daft Punk meticulously crafted the sound that went on to win Album of the Year in 2013. Robert adds his perspective on adapting the record to Dolby Atmos, a process that opened up new spatial dimensions while staying true to the album's artistic intent.

This interview is part of our music series, "Reimagining the Classics."

“You could do a lot more analysis of it from Atmos by separating channels and things, but I think Dolby Atmos added to the experience of the album. There's so much going on in parts of that album that I think Atmos was a big, big improvement, a big benefit for some of those really dense parts to separate and to be in their own space.”

—Mick Guzauski, Audio Engineer
