I've fiddled around with all sorts of music programs for decades, and never found anything that really stuck with me. One of my favorite tools has been Jasuto, a software modular synth, but making music with iPads doesn't sit right with me. Looking to get more focused on music making a couple years ago, I attended the Toronto Sound Festival, where there was a lot of modular synth hardware to checkout. I didn't find anything that really felt right for me, so I set out on creating my own electroacoustic instrument and my own ways of making music. That's led to releasing two albums on Bandcamp (https://stefanpowell.bandcamp.com https://stefanpowell.bandcamp.com), and I've done a couple video demos for the local synth enthusiasts.(https://youtu.be/ds2I0QujzO0 https://youtu.be/ds2I0QujzO0) I record live sets directly into Ardour, trim, fade, and use FabFilter plug-ins for EQ and Limiting. I've recently had a much more stage ready version of my instrument built by a professional luthier, and I hope to start playing some live gigs with it soon.
