Delicate sound of AI restoration - ”The Lord of the Things”

Re-defining important changes in the music and film restoration industry, exploring the possibility to: 1. Extract individually chosen sounds from the final movie track in order to re-balance (re-mix) its audio content. 2. Extract chosen sounds from the original audio recording and re-mix, with separated audio stems. The Results section starts by describing the process of creating a completely new mixdown made from AI-generated audio stems (previously extracted from the original mono recordings) joining it with restored original 16 mm video footage, resulting in a full eight-hour movie, separated into three episodes, each with a duration between two and three hours, covering about one week each, of the 21 days of studio time. The material was recorded during the filming of The Beatles’ “Get Back” sessions at Twickenham Studios, London, in January 1969, and chronicles the making of “Let It Be” and the band’s famed final “Rooftop Concert.” The second episode describes the audio/video production of the last-ever song by The Beatles (“Now and Then”) literally made from scratch, as the core of the project was only a poor-quality analog recording made by John Lennon, singing and playing piano to an old, mono, compact cassette recorder.
