Steven Wilson has explained why he created Headphone Dust, a high-resolution digital platform designed to bypass the compromises of streaming. He says the idea was born out of mounting frustration with how spatial audio is currently distributed.
“I’ve spent the last five or six years remixing classic albums into Dolby Atmos, but what usually happens is those mixes get uploaded to streaming services in very low resolution,” he explains. “It doesn’t sound like it did when I mixed it in my studio.”
