· Atmos Music Pitch

Remix at the Sound Object Level

Music like never before.


Remix with sound objects in real time.

Dolby Atmos redefined the cinematic landscape in 2012 by treating audio not as fixed channels, but as fluid, coordinate-driven sound objects moving through 3D space.

Born as an internal passion project during Dolby’s annual IdeaQuest festival, AMP (Atmos Music Project) envisioned bringing that same revolutionary acoustic fidelity to mobile devices—empowering listeners and producers to deconstruct, spatialise, and remix master stems on the fly.
