BUILT FROM A COMPOSER’S EXPERIENCE

“It strips away
the list metaphor.”

After a career spanning film, television, and work with the Eagles, Richard began building the tools he wished he’d had along the way. GridVista grew from a recurring need: finding the right instruments quickly enough to keep a musical idea moving.
