Started as something to do during lockdown. A friend and I built a home studio and wrote synth-pop and electronic tracks under the name Kirikikakou: programming, layering, recording, all at home.
Filters, oscillators, signal chains. The vocabulary of synthesis is the vocabulary of electrical engineering.
The Kirikikakou project has been quiet for a while, but sound synthesis became an interest of its own, with a lot of overlap with the engineering side. Currently working on sound design for a Magic-related YouTube channel.
Exhibit A · The thinking
Synthèse sonore et génie électrique — deux disciplines, une même logique
On the connection between electrical engineering and sound synthesis · in French
Exhibit B · The release
A demo released under the Kirikikakou name. Composition, mixing and mastering all done at home. A heads-up: lyrics and visuals carry my collaborator's political convictions.
