As a lifelong musician, from a similar walk of life this is actually the kind of creative environment and infrastructure me and my friends wished for, and tried to build in our own way at smaller scales.

A WIP GUI for ArtRiver, there's quite a ways to go before it's fully functional and usable in an audio production/processing workflow, but progress is being made.
There's quite a wide range of new possibilities regarding sampling, remixes, collaboration, attribution, royalties, and fan engagement that is unlocked once the creative process behind a given piece of audio becomes a proper artifact in and of itself.
An idealized visualization of how an artist might engage with the TimeShore (project metadata/history) of an ArtRiver (the actual audio project), as a navigable, playable project history, and interact with their or someone else's creative process as an artifact in and of itself.
An existential peeve of mine is how quickly an individual can be disregarded and/or punished by a company and/or societal system, yet should said individual decide to approach said company/societal system with equal disregard/severity, suddenly such behavior is unacceptable.
obscure, niche audio file formats that are only specified via old forum threads, pdfs on abandoned .edu servers, and snippets of parser code from reverse engineering.
don't incentivize me to remind you who you're talking to and dealing with, since you seem to have forgotten.
you won't like the reminder, plus I shouldn't ever have to remind you.
