Passion for music and instruments

My passion for music, as well as my interest for musical instruments and their materials, have led my research since the early ’80. Lutes and violin, through the use of wood, strings, their forms and harmony of their constitution, have inspired my systems.

To be able to communicate, using the language of music, those feelings that cannot be narrated with the most private of words — this is my task.

Voicing a speaker

Voicing a speaker involves the tuning and harmonising of the different parts into something uniquely expressive and coherent: from the drivers to the crossover parts, from the cabinet to its support, the singularity of each element blends into a whole, a presence capable of giving to listeners the “quality of illusion”.
