The History and Future of Surround Sound

Tomlinson Holman presented to our Section in the face of significant upheaval caused by an upset to his travel plans. In San Francisco, unable to fly home due to fog, he presented from a hotel room there (“always have a backup plan”).

After a brief introduction from Section Chair Graeme Huon, Tomlinson commenced his presentation, which he had titled “The History and Future of Surround Sound: A Story of Death and Resurrection in Six Acts”. He started by playing a recording of “The Flight of the Bumblebee” as an Overture, commenting that this tune was selected for a reason – a choice that will be explained later – stay tuned.
