Hardware and analog synthesizers remain relevant in the digital age — not just for their sound, but for their creative limitations, tactile workflow and instantenous control, aesthetics, and physical presence.
Analog circuits bridge the physical and the virtual, and form a common language — interface — that connects sound, vibration, light, movement and force.
My builds — synthesizers, effects, controllers — start on a breadboard and evolve through constant experimentation, often without reaching any final form. I am a strong proponent of using reclaimed, recycled and upcycled materials, as well as repairing, modifying and reusing old electronics.
Here, I will be sharing my process and my designs, hoping to inspire and help others to try make their own devices and learn something along the way.
There will be more!
