Dramatization

I’m uploading two copies of this here, one is for headphone listening. It is encoded from the Dolby Atmos and processed to give surround sound via stereo headphones.

The second, marked as ‘Pro Logic’ is also a mix-down from the Dolby Atmos track into a standard stereo track, but with embedded 5.1 audio matrixed in using Pro Logic II.

For anyone who just wants stereo, this is it – with the added benefit of 5.1 on compatible equipment. If you want 5.1 surround on a PC, Foobar 2000 has a downloadable Pro Logic II decoder plug-in.

Both copies are encoded using FDK VBR 5 maximum bitrate.

From the age of uniformity.
From the age of solitude and doublethink.
From the age of Big Brother.
From me, Winston Smith.
Greetings.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Starring Andrew Garfield as Winston, Cynthia Erivo as Julia, Andrew Scott as the alluring, mysterious O’Brien, and featuring Tom Hardy as Big Brother, Audible presents a new dramatization of George Orwell’s classic tale. An immersive listening experience like none you’ve heard before, at a time when it has all never felt more chillingly relevant.

Featuring a haunting original score composed by Muse’s lead singer and songwriter Matthew Bellamy and Ilan Eshkeri, recorded by the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios, the production is directed by BAFTA Award winner Destiny Ekaragha, produced by Granny Eats Wolf, and dramatised by Olivier Award nominated writer Joe White.

Also Featuring; Ian Abeysekera, Rachel Atkins, Grace Baker, Joanna Brookes, Clare Corbett, Doug Devaney, Imogen Front, Sam Garioch, Raj Ghatak, Frances Jeater, Mason Moore, Yasmin Mwanza, Harry Myers, Kaelum Nelson, John Sackville, Sienna Sangha, Sam Stafford, Jo Troy, Jenny White, Sarah Whitehouse and Alix Wilton Regan.
