Sonic Network’s President and Founder, Jennifer Hruska, Featured in New Book
Chosen as Artistic Pioneer on use of Digital Technology in Music

Boston, MA - January 20, 2005 --- Sonic Network, Inc., a world-wide provider of audio synthesis technology to the handheld consumer device and musical instrument markets, announced today that its founder and president, Jennifer Hruska, is featured in a new book and DVD hitting bookstores worldwide this month, The Art of Digital Music. Authors David Battino & Kelli Richards chose Ms. Hruska as one of 56 artistic pioneers whose work is shaping the sound of the future. Their in-depth interview with Ms. Hruska gives readers insight on how industry insiders manage the intersection of digital technology and music to change the way music is created, experienced, and shared.

“Usually books on music technology are about as dry as database manuals. But reading this one is like eavesdropping on great artists and creative tech geniuses,” states Mark Mothersbaugh, founding member of Devo and renowned composer for numerous blockbuster television shows and movies such as Dawson’s Creek and The Royal Tenenbaums. Scott Banerjee of Billboard calls the The Art of Digital Music “a significant achievement: simultaneously practical, entertaining, and thought-provoking.”

The Art of Digital Music is more than a look at technology in music; it is a compendium of many diverse minds — artists, producers, programmers, record-label executives, wireless visionaries — whose insights can open readers to new opportunities and markets for their businesses. “Jennifer was one of our inspirations for including a chapter on ringtones,” states David Battino. “We were greatly impressed with the great range of her work, from handheld devices with incredible limitations on memory and processing power, to the high-end musical workstations with unlimited memory.” Kelli Richards adds, “Jennifer was able to address topics that spanned many chapters in our book. Her career and experiences illustrate how creativity and passion can be combined with technology to produce groundbreaking products and content.”

Battino and Richards’ The Art of Digital Music is published by Backbeat Books and is now available in bookstores and music stores around the world. For more information, visit the book’s website at www.artofdigitalmusic.com.
