Last month, along with being featured in both the New York Times and Forbes for our work on West Side Story, Audionamix was also highlighted in Film and Sound Magazine. The article entitled, Path of Discovery: West Side Story at 50, discusses the history of the beloved musical as well as its most recent revival using our revolutionary technology. In particular this article told the story of the challenges faced in producing this rendition of West Side Story.

Eleonor Sandresky, a New York composer, producer and performer, who also serves as the Bernstein Office’s Licensing Associate, was faced with the daunting task of tracking down West Side Story’s original score. To her dismay, there were no musical stems and the original score had been displaced in several locations across the country. Then there was the matter of getting the project approved by MGM who own the rights to the film. After overcoming these challenges, the final obstacle was to separate the music from the score so it could be played with a live orchestra. With the the help of Chace Audio, A Deluxe Company, the Bernstein Office learned of our source separation technology and called Audionamix to see if our technology could provide the solution.

Audionamix rose to the occasion, separating the music from the original score and producing a pristine, a cappella version that could be accompanied by a live orchestra thus creating this new type of event cinema. The premiere was held in July at the Hollywood Bowl, and due to its success, is scheduled to be performed in venues across the globe. To read the full text article, please click here

The next performance of West Side Story will be held in Chicago on November 25-27th. If you are in the Chicago area over the Thanksgiving Holiday and are interested in seeing the ADX technology at work, please visit the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s website at www.cso.org.

In the spirit of ghosts, goblins, and witches, Audionamix recently completed work on the hit television series, Charmed. Using ADX Music Dissociation service, Audionamix was able to separate the music from both the dialogue and effects tracks, allowing our client to replace the music with a more affordable solution for distribution in both Portugal and Brazil. By removing the musical cues that contained cost prohibitive music, our client was able re-release the title with less overhead, thus increasing the potential profit for those regions.

Music Dissociation is just one example of our technology’s potential. Recognized today as the ultimate solution when facing music licensing issues, this process has been shown to reduce cost by almost 75%.

Last week Audionamix attended the Audio Engineering Society (AES) Conference in New York. The Audio Engineering Society is the only professional society devoted exclusively to audio technology. Founded in the United States in 1948, the AES has grown to become an international organization that unites audio engineers, creative artists, scientists and students worldwide by promoting advances in audio and disseminating new knowledge and research. This conference, is the largest gathering of audio professionals and enthusiasts on the globe, attracting delegates from over 100 countries worldwide. Since 2004, Audionamix has been a proud member of the AES and Rick Silva, VP of Production for Audionamix, attended the conference to showcase our technology. Stay tuned next month for a full report.

Audionamix presented a publication at the WASPAA 2011 workshop in New Paltz, New York. WASPAA is a top-level event about audio and acoustics, where most of the prominent researchers in the field are present. Audionamix’s research about Convolutive common audio signal extraction has been appreciated by colleagues in the field. While attending the workshop, our lead researcher, Juan José Burred, met with many key figures in audio research. Some of the conference’s themes included source separation, spatialization and sound indexing, topics in which Audionamix is involved and which play an important role in the research landscape.
