Indeed. There is still so much good in the world, and you never know what might change for the better in the next months/days/hours.

Really I couldn’t care less about pump prices. But hopefully the shocks shake a few more consumers off their petroleum addiction.

Bad Gear. Florian is definitely scraping the barrel for crusty synths when he turns his attention to plugins.

This, and working with a team, and working towards the public good. Building successful teams, improving processes, implementing efficient and sustainable systems - all good fun to achieve.

That said these take weeks and months to accomplish where I work. I’d love to be a chef where the results of my labour was more … immediate.
