Bit Depth
Deep conversations with interesting people. Santiago Ramones gets to know people on a deeper level: Why they do what they do and why they believe what they believe. Bit Depth lies at the intersection of creativity and philosophy, striving to establish a culture of nuance, empathy, and growth. As a musician, Santiago speaks with other musicians, creatives, outliers, and any sort of interesting person interested in deep conversation.
