Griffith Observatory’s “Signs of Life” Show Comes Alive With NUGEN Audio

Re-recording Mixer Michael Phillips Keeley Relies on Brand’s Halo Upmix Plug-in for Dynamic Sound in the Planetarium’s Latest Immersive Experience

LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 8, 2023 ― Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles recently premiered its latest award-winning show, “Signs of Life,” in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. The new immersive program thrusts viewers into the driver’s seat of discovery: illuminating the nature of existence on Earth and exploring where one might look for life elsewhere in the universe. To put forth an authentic, amusing and engaging immersive experience, Re-recording Mixer Michael Phillips Keeley turned to NUGEN Audio’s Halo Upmix plug-in.

Since he worked on “Signs of Life” in the midst of the pandemic, Keeley had to figure out the most beneficial way to translate the sound from his Dolby Atmos 9.1.4 speaker setup at his Sound Striker studio to the 28.1 system at the observatory. Having previously used NUGEN, he knew the brand would help him deliver exactly what he planned.
