In episode 004 we talk to Vlad Kreimer, head of Romantic Engineering at SOMA laboratory. We have a deep dive conversation on what is esoteric engineering, we then go on to talk about the his creative processes in building instruments. We talk Lyra 8, Pulsar 23 and the Enner, we talk about human connection, his own art practice and much more!
This episode is a great journey into a truly creative mind that has designed instruments for his own art practice, only to find there has been an amazing demand for them. His Instruments are truly unique, but so is his way of thinking and designing. His creative road seems to have lead to evocative instruments that envoke a human connection. Sit back and enjoy the immersive conversation with Vlad!
