The New School VR podcast is a show about learning technologies so powerful, they transcend the limits of reality itself. Imagine atoms the size of your house, or billion-star galaxies at living room scale. To our eyes and ears, these visions are real, and the implications for the future of learning are beyond imagination.

New School VR is a weekly interview-style podcast, helping parents, teachers, instructors, artists and engineers navigate the vast potential of VR and AR-assisted learning.

Born 1960 in Vienna. Austrian composer, improviser and performer. He studied composition with Friedrich Cerha and musicology in Vienna.

Since 2007 professor of composition for electro-acoustic and experimental music at the University of Music in Vienna.

Karlheinz Essl performs on a laptop computer that he has transformed into a live electronic musical instrument. The result is exciting and musical. You just won't hear these sounds anywhere else. He performs solo and in duets and trios, responding with sensitivity to fellow musicians, producing fascinating sound transformations, creating spontaneous surprises, and moving quickly from loops to cacophony to tiny clips of vocal sounds to all kinds of textures and ideas. He does all this with his m@ze°2(Modular Algorithmic Zound Environment) performance software. (Joel Chadabe, CDeMusic, Januar 2002)

With a career that includes designing sounds for Ableton, Korg, Roland, Sequential, Xfer and Kilohearts, plus serving as Technology Editor for Beatportal.com and editor-at-large for Electronic Musician/MusicRadar, Francis Prève has carved a niche as one of the tech industry's most in-demand sound designers. His work as a college professor in Austin, Texas, provides additional insight into how musicians of all skill levels interface with synthesizers, while his career as a technology journalist gives him a deeper appreciation of great product design and realisation.

Over the years, Prève's music output has included high-profile remixes for Dragonette, Orbital, Sander Kleinenberg, Dave Seaman, and Gabriel & Dresden. His original compositions include collaborations like "Yin/Yang" with Wolfgang Gartner and "Get Down" with John Acquaviva & Olivier Giacomotto. 

In 2016, Preve founded symplesound.com, a soundware company focused on creating content and presets for the synthesizer industry.
