Recently, I had a chance to sit down with one of VR pioneers who is merging classical performance, neuroscience and holistic body practices into one-of-a-kind experiences for her growing audiences. Meet Maria Brodskaya, a Russian-American musician, producer, educator and entrepreneur known as ÅMBE. Since winning her first music award at the age of seven, she has recorded and performed around the world with Grammy-winning producers and artists. Her latest work has been exhibited at South by Southwest, MORA (The Museum of Russian Art) and Bowery Film Festival. Oh, and she is also a ViolinBorg with impeccable otherworldly style.
