## Resource

For the composer, conductor, songwriter Steve Hackman , life has been a journey through parallel realities––or maybe, parallel dualities. At a young age, he developed an appreciation for music. And, it was all music. Whether Beethoven or the Beatles, Mahler or Pink Floyd, they all got equal playing time. To Steve, music was an art form that had the power to reach the soul, actuate change and bridge gaps, and he's built a life and career around bringing seemingly disparate genres together in an effort to bring seemingly disparate audiences together. There is much to derive from Steve's journey––lessons that expand far beyond the orchestra hall. Lessons in being true to one's self, questioning convention, overcoming resistance, turning opponents into advocates and meeting people where they are to inspire change. Lessons that could very much apply to the architecture and design world. 🎵 Music credits:🎵 Steve Hackman "Rewind Time", Clarence Reed "Drops of Rain", Cody High "The Girl from Boo", Henyao "Ga$ Money", Xavy Rusan, Gavin Luke
