In this episode of The Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Andre Michelle, an innovative creator in the music technology space, to discuss his latest project, OpenDaw. Andre talks about how he started as a DJ in the '90s and went on to develop audio applications.

We delve into the evolution of his previous project, AudioTool, and how it laid the groundwork for OpenDaw. Andre explains the philosophy behind OpenDaw, emphasizing his desire to facilitate collaborative music creation without the constraints of traditional DAWs. We explore the unique features of OpenDaw, including collaboration, modular device creation, and the ability to use personal sample libraries from various cloud services.

Andre also shares insights on the challenges of transitioning the projects from Flash to HTML5 and JavaScript, and the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of OpenDaw, with a focus on accessibility and creativity.
