He uploaded the clip sideways, so he advised people to turn the phone on its side to watch it in the caption. « A Day in my Life at ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS, London, England, » he wrote in the caption. « We’re rebuilding and remixing our QUEEN II album in Dolby Atmos — basically the kind of surround sound you hear in movie theatres. I’ve wanted to do this for the last 53 years !!! This new version will be streamed first, then released as a dedicated Blu-ray. The performances are all exactly as we played them all those years ago – in one of our most explosively creative periods – but the SOUNDS !!! — are what we always dreamed of. Get your Dolby Atmos hi-fi system now !! »
He explained further in the video, which showed him walking along the corridors, why he was in the iconic recording studio, saying they didn’t have the facilities to do what they wanted with the album when they were recording it over half a century ago.
« I love Abbey Road…It kind of carries its history with it so you see the past as well as the future here and the present day, [it] embraces all this lovely old machinery, all the analogue stuff that we used to use. We didn’t actually record in here, as Queen that is, I’ve recorded here with other people like Cliff Richard and stuff, which is really great, and with The Crickets – a number of things.
« This is a great place, and today we are remixing Queen Two in Dolby Atmos, which is quite something. This was 53 years ago, we recorded this album, and it always needed this treatment. We didn’t have the technology to achieve what we really wanted in those days. Now we do.
« I can’t wait for people to hear this Dolby Atmos mix, which is just all around you, stuff happening, » he said.
He then went on to post a second clip to give fans an example of the sound they could expect. « I’m not giving anything away, » he insisted in the caption. « Except an iPhone stereophonic rendition of a work-in-progress Dolby Atmos (surround) rebuild of PROCESSION – the opening track on our 1973 Queen II album.
« Hold the phone on its side and put your nose close to the screen. Half-close your eyes and turn the volume up full. And, just like that, you are with me today in Abbey Road studios revisiting a pivotal QUEEN recording.
« I’m inviting you in because I want you to be as excited as I am when this becomes available for streaming very soon, and when the Dolby Atmos Blu-Ray comes out !!! It will sound about 50 times better than this !
« The glory of working Analogue to Digital is that we were able to reach back to the individual multiple guitar tracks and place them all around the room. So you will be effectively sitting inside the guitar « orchestra » when you hear this in Dolby Atmos. QUEEN II – like you never heard it before !!! » he exclaimed.
