Guitar maestro Joe Satriani has been making strange beautiful music for well over four decades and counting. Given his penchant for exploring the very concept of space itself and all of its dimensions, it should come as no surprise that Satch has wholly embraced the concept of having his music mixed in Dolby Atmos (now available on Apple Music).
Recently, Satriani and I got on Zoom to discuss just how cosmically cool his benchmark October 1987 instrumental album sounds in Atmos, which specific track benefits the most from its Atmos mix, and how the overall mixing and mastering processes differ in the modern Atmos age. (A longer version of this interview appears in my monthly Spatial Audio File column on the site.)
