As we’ve been keeping track of newly-released videos from last year’s inaugural Ableton Loop conference, one was over-looked.
Back in April the music software released the keynote speech from one of Ableton’s creators, musician Robert Henke, aka Monolake.
Among many valuable insights, Robert Henke’s keynote presentation at Loop 2015 offers sage advice on dealing with the multitasking nature of modern music making, how to learn from machines, and the counter-intuitive yet undeniable value of failure as a driver of musical and technical innovation.
Watch the keynote, titled “Failure = Success” (!!) here:

Headphone company Nervana is looking to revolutionize your music listening experience, with new earbuds designed to provide Vagus nerve stimulation synced to the pulse of your music.
The Vagus nerve is responsible for producing neurotransmitters that create happiness and enhance your mood, and by stimulating this nerve to the pulse of your music, Nervana hopes to create a new way of experiencing music.
Their headphones give users the ability to experience stimulation of the Vagus nerve synced to music of their choosing, or to put them in Ambient mode and allow the headphones to act based on the sound around them, for use at concerts or simply when walking around.
NERVANA is the only consumer product that synchronizes nerve stimulation with sound, allowing the user to experience qualities of music never felt before.
Nervana earbuds consist of two components, the Nervana Generator, which analyzes incoming audio signals and generates a Vagus nerve stimulation signal based on a sensitivity level set by the user, and the Nervana headphones, which contain high fidelity speakers as well as the technology to route the electrical signals to the earbud in order to stimulate the ear canal and the Vagus nerve.
NERVANA is completely portable. You can bring it to concerts, and other public music venues. To escape reality, it is as easy as picking your favorite song, popping in the NERVANA Headphones, and starting the NERVANA Generator.
