The morning after securing Sony's partnership brought immediate acceleration of our plans. The warehouse construction site transformed into a hive of focused activity as additional crews began implementing our expanded technical infrastructure. I supervised installations personally, ensuring each component aligned precisely with future developments I remembered.
"The power requirements for these systems exceed anything I've encountered," observed Dr. Sarah Chen, Sony's lead technical advisor, reviewing our specifications. "The processing capabilities you're describing push beyond current theoretical limits."
I guided her through carefully prepared explanations, balancing innovation with plausibility. "Traditional audio processing treats sound as a linear phenomenon. We're developing frameworks that interact with music's fundamental properties in ways industry standards haven't yet considered."
The secured development lab, triple-shielded and electromagnetically isolated, attracted particular attention. In my original timeline, this facility had birthed our most revolutionary innovations. Now, its construction proceeded under carefully managed oversight.
"The shielding specifications seem excessive for conventional audio research," Dr. Chen noted, examining the technical drawings. "What exactly are you planning to develop here?"
"Next-generation processing systems," I explained, sharing measured glimpses of future technology. "The innovations we're currently implementing are just the foundation. What comes next will require completely isolated development environments."
Mom arrived with updated construction schedules and revised budgets, her executive presence now perfectly natural. She'd spent the night analyzing Sony's technical requirements, identifying opportunities to accelerate our timeline while maintaining plausible development progression.
"The German equipment manufacturers can expedite delivery of the advanced processing units," she reported, consulting her meticulously organized files. "Their engineering team is particularly interested in our neural response monitoring specifications."
I nodded, remembering how these same manufacturers had eventually become key partners in our original timeline. "Accelerated delivery works perfectly. We'll need those systems integrated before beginning the next phase of Beyoncé's sessions."
The afternoon brought a delegation of Sony's international technical directors, each eager to understand our innovations. I conducted carefully structured demonstrations, revealing capabilities that pushed boundaries while maintaining crucial secrets about their future evolution.
"The harmonic integration algorithms are revolutionary," noted Dr. Yamamoto from the Tokyo research division. "But the processing architecture suggests possibilities beyond conventional audio applications."
"Because we're not just developing new production tools," I confirmed, sharing precisely calculated insight. "We're creating frameworks for how music itself can be understood, manipulated, and experienced. The applications extend far beyond traditional studio technology."
Derek arrived for his scheduled session, his production skills evolving rapidly under our advanced system's guidance. His natural talent was adapting to future concepts years ahead of schedule, providing perfect demonstration of our technology's potential.
"The neural response monitoring is unprecedented," Dr. Chen observed, watching Derek work with our modified interfaces. "The system appears to anticipate creative decisions before they're fully formed."
Because it does, I thought, monitoring the disguised neural processing algorithms at work. Technology that would revolutionize music production, introduced gradually through carefully planned iterations.
As evening approached, I reviewed implementation progress with Mom and our core technical team. Each installation was proceeding precisely as planned, laying groundwork for innovations that wouldn't naturally emerge for years.
"The secure development lab will be operational next week," Mom reported, reviewing updated schedules. "Though I'm still trying to understand why we need quantum-grade cooling systems for audio research."
I shared a carefully measured smile, thinking of the prototype quantum processors that would eventually occupy that space. "Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs require infrastructure that seems excessive at first. We're not just building for current capabilities – we're preparing for developments nobody else has imagined yet."
The Manhattan skyline glowed through gathering darkness as we finalized the day's implementations. Each technical installation, each system integration was precisely calculated to support future innovations while maintaining plausible development progression.
Time to build the future of music technology. Again. But this time, with perfect precision from the very beginning.
The future was changing, circuit by carefully installed circuit. Tomorrow would bring new challenges, new opportunities to guide technological evolution. But tonight was for ensuring each component, each system, each innovation was perfectly positioned to support the revolution only I could see coming.
