Hey SCS fam, we sat down with Iftah Gabbai the mind behind Sting 2, CV Tools, Pyra, and the Ableton Performance Pack. Iftah shares his journey from touring with Skinner Box to becoming a full-time Max for Live developer, his pay-what-you-want philosophy, and why accessibility matters. We dive into how Sting evolved from a simple sequencer into a live performance instrument, the art of ultrasonic field recordings, and why you shouldn't fight creative blocks. This conversation gets deep on sustainable creativity, learning through necessity, and building tools that inspire. Whether you're into generative sequencing, philosophical thoughts on creativity or just need permission to rest, this one's for you.
