This conversation was recorded on 23/09/16 in an office in Sydney’s CBD.

“I feel like we’re in an age, with all of the advances technologically… I think we’re on the brink of something. Someone’s going to have some kind of a eureka one day very, very soon and it’s going to change the game for all of us, and I’m excited…”

In September of 2016 I caught up with Sydney composer Mark Oliveiro in Sydney city. He swiped us up to level 37 of the ANZ Tower where he provides audio-visual services in the corporate sector. Here’s our chat, which touched on the work and creativity juggle, but also on some decidedly non-corporate and highly artistic themes!
