Guest host Ben Givars returns to Dolby Creator Talks for a live panel at SXSW 2025 to discuss how Dolby Atmos® empowers musicians and creatives to take their music and audio to the next level. Producer and musician (Spoon) Jim Eno joins collaborators from Colorado-based fuzz folk band autumnal to discuss how he used Dolby Atmos to mix a totally immersive audio experience for their song, “breathing.”

“There’s so much space. When you listen to an Atmos mix on a speaker system, you definitely hear things that you’ve never heard on a stereo mix, because they’re not cramped together… With Atmos you can take more freedom and liberties, and be able to hear more things around the 360 spectrum.”
