When THX Ltd released the sheet music for “Deep Note”, the three octave sound experience that’s been playing in in high fidelity movie theaters since 1983, Mach Kobayashi set out to recreate all 30 voices that create the familiar theme. Using multi-track technology, Kobayashi hit every note to near perfection from the highest high to lowest low within the iconic crescendo.
