With "Fliegen oder Fallen" (Fly or Fall), m!co presents the first chapter of his EP "Vogelkäfig" (Birdcage), which will be released in 2023.

In his work, Paul Cybulska explores the importance of 3D audio for music video. To this end, he collaborated with the Berlin-based artist m!co and produced an interactive film with two narrative threads that the user can switch between at any time.

The project experiments with the interplay of visual effects and three-dimensional sound. With the help of object-based sound production, an immersive sound experience was created. In the Dolby Atmos sound mix, instruments, voices and sound effects were placed spatially and react to visual stimuli. The user is thus drawn deeper into the events of the song, creating a tightly knit audiovisual experience with an emotional story.
