Building Blocks is a series of features developed in partnership with Splice commissioning dance music artists to make a sample pack. Each artist develops a pack that reflects their voice as a producer-a suite of sounds they'd use in their own tracks and live sets. Apart from the sample pack itself, each feature includes video and text where the artists talk all things samples and sampling, the process of making the pack, and their own creative evolution from beginner to the present day.

very cool, its refreshing to see her putting in the love and work in her art. You can tell she actually produces and makes her music unlike all the others who take selfies and use ghost producers.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a Lyra and Pulsar in her studio, love those synths!I resonated with the not knowing what you are doing part. That is a beautiful way to experience sound design and production. Letting the ideas come to you naturally has always felt better to me as a artist than going for a certain style/genre. More freedom = More fun

There's gate keeping in electronic music as well as classical. Ironically being a classical musician doesn't seem to be a great thing to be right now either due to the budget cuts.
