New Dolby games trailer

Dolby Laboratories will present an innovative games trailer at the Game Developers Conference 2006, San Jose, March 20-24. The trailer's visuals graphically depict the transformation of sound, demonstrating its variety and possibilities, and were created by Japanese artist Shinichi Shirashi and animated by Joe Encarnation, Dolby's Interactive Media Designer.

The audio for the trailer was recorded by Dolby's European Games Manager Valerio C. Faggioni and creative heads Kristian Vester, a Danish programmer and composer, and Guido Zen, a UK sound engineer.

In the audio production of the trailer in January 2006 the team turned their backs on pre-recorded sounds and used an innovative way of generating sound called 'component modelling technology'. This process allowed them to create 'impossible' instruments, like a half-wood, half-glass string instrument played by a bouncing steel ball and struck with two different bows. All sounds for the trailer were created by 'playing' this new instrument.
