It’s well over two decades since my first experiments in using the internet for live digital audio, and we created Cleanfeed with an ambition to make this amazing technology available as widely as possible. We knew the power it had to actually discover new opportunities and change the way we work in creative industries. The Emmy Award recognises this at the highest level.”
