Removing the piano leaves a harmonic shadow — a residue that becomes the score.
The Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music presented a pre-release listening session of the immersive Dolby Atmos edition of Chopin Residue — its immersive 11.1.6 mix crafted by Morten Lindberg, Michael Romanowski, Jacek Gawłowski and Mariusz Szypura — heard for the first time in full spatial form before the public release.
Held at the Karol Szymanowski Auditorium and Cinema Hall, the session opened the immersive edition — a co-production of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute — to an invited audience.
