Abstract
This invention provides a method and system for creating multiverse audio experiences in immersive audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, binaural headphone rendering, and future equivalents. The method encodes alternate recorded versions of specific musical components alongside fixed stems, enabling multiple distinct performances of a composition to be delivered under a single release identity. Playback systems are configured to select between versions automatically based on platform capabilities or immersive audio settings, providing listeners with differentiated interpretations of the same musical work.
Claims8
A method for producing a multiverse audio experience, comprising:
- (a) encoding fixed musical components as a consistent baseline;
- (b) encoding one or more alternate component layers performed by different musicians or arranged differently as synchronized alternates;
- (c) maintaining timing and song identity across fixed and alternate components through shared stems and synchronization references;
- and
- (d) enabling a playback system or streaming platform to automatically deliver alternate interpretations of the same song identity under varying playback conditions based on detected device capabilities or playback settings.
A system comprising a digital distribution platform configured to:
- (a) associate multiple alternate masters of the same musical work with a single public release identifier;
- (b) maintain internal asset identifiers for alternate versions linked to the unified release;
- (c) deliver a stereo recording to non-immersive devices;
- (d) deliver an alternate immersive recording to immersive-capable devices;
- and
- (e) ensure all versions remain synchronized in timing, metadata, and release identity.
