Love the clever API analogy! And the funny thing is sampuru the word is actually borrowed from the English word sample. They’ve taken the concept and made it their own to interface with others. Your analogy goes so many levels deep!

Ah! You know I had heard once about the Japanese tradition of turning English words into Japanese and suspected this one was one of them. So interesting!

Florian! Thank you for putting us on to your wife's work. I am a huge fan of classical scores and enjoyed every bit of "Introducing Selma Blair". It was such a stunningly beautiful score filled with moments of sorrow, elation, fear, and redemption. I haven't seen the film yet (I intend to bc I'm a Selma fan), but cannot wait to match the emotions I felt listening to the music with what my eyes will see on screen. xx- Natalie

Thank you so much Natalie, I immediately showed your message to Raph and she was very touched. If you like film scoring, you might enjoy Raph's playlist on her favorite scores. She updates it weekly :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/49Fb3lpZl6oR0uGj8kDvIl?si=dXX2_4eYTHK5oBnwBUPXpw&utm_source=copy-link
