VC | EP23 - Theron Pray - Synthing My Sthesia, The Macdaddy of GLSL & The Arbitor of Synesthesia

For Episode 23 we have a super exciting and honoring guest - Theron Pray , the founder of Synesthesia and a master Visual artist!!! For those not familiar, Synesthesia is an ultra-powerful VJ software, bringing the power of Shaders & GLSL to all, with tools, workflows and features that are second to none . In our chat with Theron we get into what its like creating tools that close the gap between technical and visual artists, growing up in LA & being fascinated by how the universe works, whcih lead to studying physics in Carlton college, playing music in a experimental tech band and creating custom software's out of a need to connect musicians to visuals, eventually turning it into Synesthesia and what it means to open and run a company, we get into diving down the rabbit hole of VJing, meeting and mixing in with  @Datagrama  , Theron then gives us his introduction to GLSL and we go deep into Augmented reality and his company AlphaChannel. For Theron’s SET, we take an up and close look at Synesthesia and some of its amazing features, we then check out Theron's unbelievable content from Boom festival and his killer workflow for projection mapping.
