Studio
“Today my studio configuration is a hybrid between digital and analog, with Ableton as the centre of operations.”
“This Electron drum machine has become my basic machine to create all my percussion.”
“I've used them all my artistic career and they are my favourite speakers.”
“The sound card is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Many times the system goes down but my RME still works.”
“it's great to make acid and it has a classic sound.”
“If you have a cool sequence and dedicate time to the sound design of this synthesizer, you get excellent results.”
Stage
“I like to use it to launch sequences or to block the routing of certain devices when I'm improvising in the studio.”
Modular rig
“The LFOs are made with the Batumi module from XAOC, making simple routes but letting the reverb and delay work their magic.”
“It is my favourite envelope and I always use it in my routes to get random results with drones or synths.”
“They are very versatile, simple and with very good sound quality.”
Recording
“I use the TC Helicon to experiment with vocals, it's a module with infinite possibilities and FX.”
“The UA LA-610 is the only thing that I have for dynamics and it's a classic jewel.”
DJ booth
“My main devices are the CDJs, which is where I go to work the session, although sometimes I like to add some vinyl to the set.”
On my nightstand
“I would recommend a novel that has hooked me this summer and is "Red Queen" by Juan Gomez-Jurado”
