"How Loud Your Heart Gets" - Lucius | Dolby Atmos Mix Breakdown with Matt Boerum

To help fans experience the immersive mixing for themselves, Genelec has created a downloadable Atmos video version of the video – designed for playback on compatible systems or headphones.

Matt Boerum, co-founder of Spatial Mastering and a longtime Genelec user, brought both technical insight and deep fandom to the mix. “This record changed my world as a musician and engineer,” he shared during a recent session at the Genelec Experience Center. “Being asked to mix it in Atmos was one of those rare full-circle moments.” In his approach, Boerum focused on preserving the emotional power of the original stereo mix while enhancing it with expanded depth and dimension – grounding core elements in the bed while using Atmos objects to wrap vocals, widen guitars, and create immersive vocal layering that "feels like you’re inside the song.”

Boerum’s mix doesn’t just highlight the possibilities of Atmos; it underscores the musicality and emotion that can be revealed when immersive audio is handled with care. “Immersive mixing, for me, is really just the next step in mastering,” he says. “It’s about honoring what’s already great, then elevating it – spatially, emotionally, sonically.” With Wildewoman (The New Recordings), that elevation is as breathtaking as the album itself.
