This is definitely cool! We had a discussion of the original theatrical soundtrack some pages back in the other 2001:ASO thread Cinerama 70mm 2001 preservation. Is it possible?, beginning just below midway down page 11. (This soundtrack disappeared in favor of the 5.1 remaster.) It had all kinds of interesting things like positional-pan dialogue.
HAL wants you! … to help! Ask your 2001:ASO-fan friends, too. Even small amounts add up to getting it done.
