Michael Stearns - Chronos (2022 Remaster, Film Printmaster Stereo Fold-down) (1985) [Hi-Res]

The current stereo remaster of the "CHRONOS" soundtrack is a fold-down derived from a high-resolution digital transfer of the original six-channel analogue master. The production process was characterized by a distinctive integration of audio and visual elements, with composer Michael Stearns traveling to locations in Egypt and Italy to internalize the temporal rhythms captured by director Ron Fricke. By utilizing a custom six-channel surround system during the composition phase, Stearns was able to incorporate a sophisticated spatial design into the score's architecture. Ultimately, the film's visual sequence was edited to match the completed musical score, establishing the music as a fundamental structural component of this expansive cinematic exploration.
