                  • Every Day Obsession: Interview with Cory Haber

                    Our first-ever interview with an artist who has not dropped on fx(hash)... yet. We hope enjoy this conversation with Cory, recorded a week before the release of Atmospheres on Verse. Atmospheres is Cory's follow-up to SOL, the project that first put him on our radar. We enjoyed digging into Cory's history in art, his shift to coding, his passion for building & plotting, and the stories of SOL and Atmospheres. We also learned Cory's current evaluation of the market, his philosophy on releasing projects, and more. Huge thanks to Cory for taking the time to come on the show and sharing so candidly about his art and process.

                    Follow Cory on Twitter (but don't expect him to tweet) @Cory_Haber

                    Check out Atmospheres dropping on Verse tomorrow!
