Building a Dolby ATMOS Studio from scratch with Franck Reisner

About this episode

Franck Reisner discusses building Estonia's first Dolby Atmos Music studio and his vision for a creative hub in Tallinn.

Franck Reisner is a producer, cultural entrepreneur and studio founder. He built Studio89, Estonia’s first Dolby Atmos Music studio, from scratch – starting with straw panels and a DIY spirit – into a hub for immersive sound, mixing, and international collaboration. Today, Studio89 unites engineers, musicians, and composers across recording, post-production, and game audio. Franck’s vision reaches beyond the studio: he is developing a Music Production House in Tallinn, a future hub of studios, rehearsal rooms, and creative companies, designed to anchor local talent and connect Estonia internationally. With roots in theater and children’s musicals, and experience running professional songwriting camps, he sees music as both a craft and a bridge. His work brings together cultures and partners from Estonia, Sweden, the UK, and beyond — building spaces where collaboration and creativity can thrive.
