Guests arrived at Chromasonic’s new studio in LA’s Arts District and were welcomed with cocktails, bites, and a soulful DJ set from Michael Donte of Black House Radio.
Once settled, guests were ushered into Chromasonic Field, a large-scale, walk-through installation. Inside, translucent screens created interrelated spaces where color became audible and sound became visible, thanks to an algorithmically driven interplay of light and sonic waves. It was a mesmerizing, sensory-rich introduction—an invitation to dissolve the boundary between art and science.

From there, Freethink’s Kmele Foster took the stage for a live conversation with Will Bruey, CEO and co-founder of Varda Space Industries.
Together, they explored the rapidly evolving field of space manufacturing at a moment when falling launch costs and new technologies are unlocking unprecedented possibilities beyond Earth. Bruey spoke about his journey from lead avionics engineer at SpaceX—where he flew the Dragon spacecraft on eight missions to the ISS—to launching Varda, which is pioneering the use of microgravity to produce pharmaceuticals in space.

The night culminated in a captivating live performance by electric cellist Brianna Tam whose one-woman performances have earned her a TEDx talk, an NEA grant, and recognition as a Top Shelf artist in NPR’s 2023 Tiny Desk Contest.
Using just her feet, a loop station, and her cello, Tam layered and built a cinematic soundscape — a beautiful and moving way to end the evening.
