Thomas Dolby, the MTV icon, new wave artist with the '80s hit song She Blinded Me With Science, filmmaker, and Silicon Valley veteran, believes that rapid advances in communications and computing power do NOT always lead to a parallel increase in human innovation and creativity. Hear Dolby discuss with Panos Panay, BerkleeICE's managing director, how his creative path has taken him from the Billboard lists, to playing with David Bowie, to creating original music for feature Lucas and Spielberg films, to coding the technology that drove interactive audio in Java and polyphonic mobile ringtones. Dolby will also have copies of his latest book, The Speed of Sound: Breaking the Barriers Between Music and Technology, available for purchase and signing.
