TORONTO RAVEL STUDY meets in-person at The Tranzac Club
292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto
This Month’s Special Guest; Paul Novotny
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR PAUL’S PRESENTATION, FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW TO A RECORDED TRACK FOR YOU TO AUDITION PRIOR TO JAN 13.
Paul Novotny is no stranger to Toronto Ravel. Last year, Paul talked to us about the construction of his ‘tiny’ Dolby Atmos studio, which, although small, has met or surpassed all of the Dolby standards for sonic integrity and accuracy.
Having recently completed his doctorate at York University in Music Spaciality and Dolby Atmos, Paul will be presenting ways to write for Dolby Atmos, and will delve in to the psycho-acoustic and emotional components of music presented in this format.
Even if composing in Atmos is not on your bucket-list, music recorded and mixed in this format has found its way into Spotify and Apple Music, and into theatres as well. Proponents predict that in time, all music will be mixed in this format, given that Atmos-encoded recordings faithfully and accurately “fold down” into any format, including traditional stereo, without degradation.
Immersive audio opens the possibilities for new approaches to orchestration, composition and recording. Paul will help us with what we need to know as composers in order to prepare for this sea-change in how music will be delivered in the near future.
Please use the following link for the study track This is best listened to in over-ear headphones or earbuds. Listening in speakers will not reveal the true magic of Dolby Atmos.

NEW ADVENTURES IN LISTENING – Film clips from “On The Waterfront” and “Ryan” are posted on the “Study Materials” page for download. With the sound removed, they can be scored as an exercise, and brough in to “Adventures in Listening” for feedback and analysis. Adventures in Listening is a unique opportunity to get unbiased and honest feedback on your ‘in-progress’ or experimental work from a community of your professional peers. Because it is anonymous, it is a risk-free environment. Whether you are an emerging composer or an experienced one, and whether your work is for concert or screen, I encourage you to take advantage of this invaluable resource.
