106: Why Were These Doctors Killing Their Patients? – A Conversation with Ray Lustig & Max Hein

In this episode, we speak with composer Ray Lustig and audio engineer Maximilien Hein about the importance of trust, the productive symbiosis of creativity and technical skills, and their latest collaboration, an opera about the revolutionary 19th-century obstetrician Ignaz Semmelweis. Ray is a classical composer and rock musician with a background in molecular biology and a persistent interest in science, nature, and the mind. Max is a Senior Staff Audio Engineer at The Hit Factory with a Master of Music from New York University, where his research on spatial audio was published by the Audio Engineering Society. Their years of collaboration have borne many fruits, of which Semmelweis is but the latest.
