On-lab her projects include designing augmented reality tools for spacecraft engineering and Mars exploration, and designing processes and software to support spacecraft operations for the Europa Clipper mission; a spacecraft set to arrive at the Jovian moon in 2025." DAMN! 😵😲 I need to find an interview of her 😄

Also he is a really nice guy to deal with. When I purchased Serum I had some issues with Paypal and I had to email for help. I didn't realise it at the time but I ended up speaking to him one late night (I'm talking late, would have been past midnight). Initially with the issues I had I almost changed my mind about going through with it, but after helped me out I ended up doing it. And boy was I glad I did. Serum is an incredible piece of software. Maxiumum respect to Steve.

“Meta music...”. YES! I had a few chats with software / hardware inventors and asked them how does it feel when you know that you have your hands closer to the core of creativity, since it’s by using your tools that other musicians make their music, and so there are many people who must feel somehow at their mercy and the presence of their tools, and existing under a shadow that they cast. That’s definitely an incentive to step up and claim innovating and inventing these tools as your main ambition, since there’s no better way to have such an influence. And not just that, but when you do it right, so so many other musicians will want to use what you’ve created, and maybe this creation would inspire a person to be a musician all because they like your tools of creation. That’s a huge compliment, and I’m sure there’s other rewards as well when you are making the top tier VSTs and plug-ins. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS GREAT TALK!
