As a DJ, producer, label owner and journalist, Mate Galic was one of the most prolific figures in Europe's burgeoning techno scene of the '90s. His strong passion for sound and for the continuous evolution of electronic music made him a relentless explorer of all related technology. At that time, the advent of real-time audio processing
on computers hinted at a new world of creative possibilities beyond established instruments and music production equipment. Mate was especially fascinated by the possibility to translate the demands of a new and undogmatic generation of electronic artists into profoundly innovative technology for music creation, live performance and sound design.
When Mate came across Native Instruments' groundbreaking synthesis software "Generator", he was immediately electrified by its vast creative implications, and joined the company as shareholder in 1998. Starting out in the role of an evangelist who would foster the creative exchange between the company and its growing community of users on the cutting edge of forward-thinking electronic music, Mate became progressively more involved in product design and eventually played a crucial role behind many milestones in the NI portfolio.
As Chief Technology Officer, President and Deputy CEO, Mate Galic today directs the technological research, product design and development at Native Instruments. His personal mission is to further advance a paradigm of inspirational music technology that is profoundly innovative while remaining accessible to musicians of all backgrounds, with products that fully utilize the ever-increasing power of computer technology to continuously realize the company claim "The Future of Sound".
