Progressive music visionary Steven Wilson has announced the launch of Headphone Dust, a new online platform dedicated to offering high-resolution, 5.1, and Atmos/spatial audio editions of his work.

The platform's first release is "Impossible Tightrope: Live In Madrid", which captures the final night of the 2025 European leg of Wilson's "The Overview" tour and includes the full two-hour show mixed in Stereo, 5.1 and Atmos.

There are no plans for a physical release of this recording; it is exclusive to Headphone Dust.

Also available now is a brand new Dolby Atmos mix of Wilson's 2013 album "The Raven That Refused to Sing", alongside high-res editions of "The Overview", "The Harmony Codex" and more.

A new Atmos mix of 2015's "Hand.

Cannot.

Erase." will follow soon.,Wilson says: "I am thrilled to announce the launch of Headphone Dust, a new online platform dedicated to studio-quality immersive sound,"For some time, I've wanted a permanent home for my work where listeners can hear the music exactly as I envisage it, without compression or compromise and in every audio format available,"While I remain committed to the Blu-ray format, I know they are not practical for everyone, and physical releases often go out of print.

Headphone Dust solves this with 'Definitive Digital Editions' which establish the MKV format as a 'virtual Blu-ray,' making high-res, 5.1, and Dolby Atmos mixes as easily accessible as possible,"Headphone Dust is open now at headphonedust.store Link.,This new platform marks another innovative step for Wilson, who continues to push the boundaries of music production and delivery.

His most recent album, "The Overview" (written, produced, and mixed by Wilson), is a high-concept, long-form experience inspired by the cosmic awe of space and the human condition.

Featuring immersive visuals and dense, genre-defying compositions, the album is Wilson at his most ambitious, combining influences from PINK FLOYD to gothic horror, electronica to orchestral grandeur.
