“It’s a therapy room. A place to get lost, stay present, and ultimately understand myself better.”
A space for self-exploration through music, built around instinct, technical challenge and the freedom to follow whichever direction feels right in the moment.

A hybrid studio built around Ableton, KeyStep Pro and the SSL BiG SiX, with hardware jams tracked as discrete stems for detailed arrangement and re-summing.

The interface, summing hub and centre of the current hybrid workflow.

Sampler, resampling hub and a key part of the studio's live feedback loop.

A flexible voice for deeper sound design and expressive modulation.
The wider system supporting the core setup, from sequencing and ROMpler textures to granular processing and spatial effects.

The central sequencer managing hardware patterns across the studio.
ROMpler textures and layered digital colour within the hardware palette.
Rhythmic FM character and an experimental synth voice for fast exploration.
Spatial FX, granular resampling and vocal / performance processing.
“Each synth is like learning a new language.”
The machines create new constraints, new personalities and new routes into the music rather than serving as a collection for its own sake.

“Each phase built on the last.”
GarageBand and trial software led into Ableton, resampling, hardware, a fully dawless phase and finally the current hybrid system.
“Hardware-first jamming, then surgical refinement inside.”
The arrangement is largely formed during the jam before stems are tracked into Ableton, refined and re-summed through the BiG SiX.

Favourite machine, first setup, workflow philosophy and one habit that keeps the process moving.
The SSL BiG SiX transformed the sound of the entire studio.
GarageBand in 2005, followed by a Korg EM-1 Groovebox around 2018.
Constantly changing the starting point to avoid comfort and creative repetition.

“The moment I hit a comfortable plateau, I switch tactics.”
Starting from a different element each time keeps the process uncertain enough to remain alive.
