2. What synths you have worked on: If I get this right it's the synths were i developed sounds for before they are on the market - so no one. But the ones which were available for me, i did a lot of sounds on.

3.What developers you have worked for: none

4.Any web references: i should get one huh

5.Prefered synthesis method (if any): subtractive synthesis

6.Any other comments about your work you would like to present: it's made with love - my first synthesizer was an fm synthesis child casio shit rocker. You could not change any setting! That sucked! That's why I like the people you modify child play toys better known as circiut bending:

5. Prefered synthesis method (if any).

I feel that there are (at least) two types of sound design - instruments and soundscapes.

Instruments are the things that you use to make a song part in an ensemble.
Soundscapes are things that don't mix very well with other stuff - they stand alone.

I used to be an instrument designer, but I think that area is very well represented by the huge number of sound designs out there already.

I still do that, but mostly the work today is on soundscapes - making that evolving sound that has not been heard before.

Whether that sound can be used by others is another issue - a difficult one.

6. Any other comments about your work you would like to present.

My own preferences in sound design are a mixed bag. I really enjoy percussive sounds and these are short one-shots where every sample of the sound matters.

But I also enjoy evolving sounds where the spectrum changes (slowly or quickly) over a time.

I think that the history of orchestration has evolved instruments design to a point where subtlety and mastery of nuance is paramount. The standard Western (and global) orchestra is at a pinnacle of performance and sound quality.

This implies that samplers are the way to go - and I greatly enjoy fine sampled instruments. I don't do that as I don't have good mics, access to instruments, etc.

On the other hand, it seems that the trend towards samples and sound presets is moving towards a 'soundscape' - a sound that stands on its own.

This is a miniature song format in its own right.

But for users - how does one use a soundscape? It is immediately recognizable and is a detriment to creativity by that point.

As a result, I tend to use soundscapes as sources which create further soundscapes. In fact, nowadays, I treat every sample or instrument preset as an INPUT to a chain of processes that make an evolving sound.

That makes the concept of a preset paramount - the choice of a chain of (relatively simple) instruments and effects that modify and modulate the incoming sound.

I wish there were some standard way of creating a shareable preset that can reproduce sounds. I think the time is right to deliver on this.

Final comments:

Modern music is influenced by the use of MP3 tags - a recent phenom. I don't really know what some of the genres mean. To me 'electronic music' means one thing, but to others it is a dance style (?). It seems to me that every new group defines a new genre and calls some followers.

Preferred Synthesis:
VA paired with Wavetable

Comments:
Up till now my sets were designed to give you
1) A lot of good authentic trance patches
2) Sounds you might not expect to find in a trance bank

In the future I may produce banks that have minimal trance content, the focus shifting to something else. But they will likely always lend themselves to dance music. It is just my framework.
