Transforming the Symphony for a New Generation

 

Today, most recorded music can be separated into individual tracks using AI, allowing each instrument to be isolated and controlled.

 

This works well for pop and studio-produced genres — but not for symphony orchestras, where dozens of instruments blend naturally in the same acoustic space. Their overlapping harmonics make true separation nearly impossible, even with advanced AI tools.

​

To overcome this, Gisle and Respons Records recorded excerpts from ten symphonies using a method developed by Gisle — a radically different approach from traditional classical recording. This technique gives us full, post-recording control of every instrument, something unattainable in a standard orchestral session.

​

Most importantly, this control is passed on to the user. With iTO Mixer, anyone can become the producer: selecting instruments, shaping the mix, adding new layers, or even replacing an orchestral part with their own performance — all from a mobile phone or tablet.

​

This innovation opens a new world for students, educators, and music enthusiasts, allowing them to step inside the architecture of a symphony and understand how an orchestra works — instrument by instrument, voice by voice.
