The Panelists
Dan Clark: Dan is the CEO of Brain.fm, a company that uses AI to compose music that enhances focus to optimally study, meditate, or sleep. Daniel has been in love with technology - and its potential to positively impact the world - for as long as he can remember. From building websites when he was 13, starting a design and advertising business at 18 and driving $2MM in revenue for multinational brands as a director for a boutique ad agency, he has truly been at the forefront of how technology can exponentially grow successful businesses. One of Brain.fm's first users, he called the company 12 times before they agreed to bring him in for an interview. When he did receive an offer, he jumped at it. He eventually moved up, and is now CEO. Daniel is constantly striving to build a company that can not only change the world through music, but also be one of the best companies for people to work for and grow with.

The Music
Andrei Matorin will deliver a FED talk on the evolution of technology as it pertains to the music industry, a brief overview of the history of technology in music, and a perspective on current trends of how we consume, experience and create music.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, violinist and composer, singer-songwriter Matorin began performing professionally at the age of 15 and has since had the honor of being featured as a soloist at such prestigious institutions as Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center and The MoMA. He’s played for such dignitaries as Oprah, Billy Joel, and General Colin Powell. While rooted in the classical and jazz traditions, his music is also influenced by modern dance and grooves from around the world to create immersive, genre-bending sonic textures and landscapes live using sound effects and loops.
