You could burn it to a CD, then play it back through a decoder and get 4.0 (pseudo) surround. The encoded signal is pretty compatible stereo even if not decoded, two channels of audio. Of course it all went away with the end of analog TV broadcasting here in the USA. I did audio systems design for ABC TV for 36 years, and was involved in installing many of the encoders (and decoders) in many ABC facilities. I think also used on analog "laser discs" or whatever they called them.Įncoder takes rear channel material and puts it "out of phase" (inverted polarity) in the encoded signal, and takes center front material and puts it in mono ("in phase") in the encoded signal.ĭecoder, in Dolby surround receivers, often found in home theater setups pre-digital used a fair amount of psycho-acoustics to do a fairly effective job of making pseudo-surround over two channels. An analog encoding of 4.0 surround and decoding, used extensively by the TV networks before the coming of digital TV. Copies of the album from online retailers (such as the iTunes Store) include only the videos for "Dynamic Symmetry" and "1.618".Aha, probably Dolby Surround or whatever they called it. "1.618" was included as one of the default music videos on the Zune digital media player. "Good Morning Kaia" consists entirely of footage shot by Transeau of himself and his daughter, at home and on vacation, while a personal message from Transeau to Kaia scrolls across the screen. Several videos feature mathematical animations most notably the fractals in "The Antikythera Mechanism" and use of the golden ratio throughout "1.618". The films ran the gamut of cinematography, from live action ("Good Morning Kaia") to computer generated animation ("1.618") and traditional animation ("The Internal Locus").
During the theatre run, BT himself would attend, watching the film with the audience and answering questions before and after each screening. The short films included were given a limited theatrical promotion, containing new footage to join the segments together. Four of these short films were created by CG graphics artist Scott Pagano, one by Mondi, one by Dose Productions, and the last consists of Transeau's personal footage of his daughter and himself. The included DVD contains the entire album in DTS 5.1 surround sound as an audio-only portion, as well as a short film to accompany each song.
