  • Episode 9 - Transcript
    Episode 9 - Transcript I’m Gustav Söderström. I head up product, engineering, data and design for Spotify. And this is the season finale of Spotify: A Product Story. On this show, we’ve brought you the untold stories behind Spotify’s biggest product launches -- from building a full-stack solution that let us stream audio faster than ever before: Daniel Ek: Already from day one, the ambition was always to revolutionize the music industry. It was never about being a so, so start up. To inventing, and then re-inventing, our entire business model just in time for the smartphone revolution: Petra Hansson: The access model and subscription, I think that scared the music rights holders a little bit. To entering the realm of hardware, and upending some conventions along the way: Nicole Burrow: You have to just stay focused on the end user. Like, for them it's about getting what they're playing from their device to their speaker. It's just important that the experience remains consistent for them. To pioneering the machine-learning that helps you find your next favorite song: Ajay Kalia: We were seeing like a 100 percent increase, like 2x increase. Like I've never seen numbers that high in a first test in Spotify and probably never will again. In retrospect, these decisions often look obvious. But that’s only because they worked -- you might know this as “survivor bias”. But in the moment, they are absolutely not obvious -- at all. And that’s really what this episode is about. Because on today’s show, we’re going to talk about what we’re up to right now.

(In New York, THIRTEEN will air the opera at 12:30 p.m.) The production, with a libretto by Amin Maalouf, had its Met premiere earlier this season in a production directed by Robert Lepage and conducted by Susanna Mälkki in her Met debut. Lepage’s staging, which uses thousands of LED lights to create the sea that separates the opera’s distant lovers, is a co-production with L’Opéra de Québec, where it premiered to accolades in the summer of 2015. Susanna Phillips stars as Clémence, the Countess of Tripoli, opposite Eric Owens as Jaufré Rudel, a troubadour on a quest to find his perfect love, and Tamara Mumford as the Pilgrim who carries messages back and forth between them. Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho’s breakthrough opera has been described by the New York Times as “transfixing…a lushly beautiful score.” Commissioned by the Salzburg Festival, it was first seen in 2000.
