“I recently found a beautiful and totally awe inspiring short move called “Pororoca” (which is a powerful tidal wave or bore phenomenon). I can’t stop watching it cause I want to find something that reveals the clip to be animated but I can’t, yet it is. Pororoca is a wondrous and gigantic leap in animation and a beautiful canvas of colors. The clip was created by two people doing what they love and it shows.

I’m Lili Haydn, recording artist and film composer working with several programs, including Pro Tools and Ableton Live. Laura Escude has been a wonderful help to me in so many ways as I have expanded my studio and my productions. She has helped me achieve my goals in relation to music technology, and answered many questions as they have come up, both technical and creative. I highly recommend working with Laura if you want to work with someone with great knowledge, focused energy, elegant taste, and cool to be around.

Laura Escude is an invaluable resource for me as an independent artist. I call her to help me coordinate my equipment and computer programs for live performances. She has also tutored me on Ableton Live, working with me on specific questions and projects that don’t fit into the standard applications of this program. I highly recommend Laura – she is intelligent, experienced and a pleasure to work with.
