#195: Federico Chiesa - Finding Freedom in Limitations

Federico Chiesa is an Italian musician, composer, and synth enthusiast, based in Brooklyn, NY, who makes music as OORA. Federico's work is based on strict limitations and deep exploration of his gear. Daily discipline and consistency has made him a prolific creator who is steadily growing his audience. Federico and I had a wide ranging conversation about his work and the gear he uses. He told how he has overcome gear lust and designed a workflow that involves strict limitations and disciplined effort. Federico shares how his creative philosophies has helped him grow as an artist.
