ECSTASEQUENCE Industrial design, interaction design and prototyping (concept) This portable performance sampler is the intuitive instrument that improves creative handling of samples in the studio, on stage or on the go. The knobs can be pressed down to activate steps in sequencer mode.
studio bench Client: Yamaha Industrial design This study transforms the classical piano bench using raw, functional materials. Acoustic foam symbolizes sound and music, while aluminum provides a light, functional aesthetic. Maintaining the standard footprint and proportions of a typical piano bench, the design features a slim profile and a magazine compartment created by layered sheet metal. The bench, comprising four sheets secured with screws, is easy to assemble and disassemble for recycling.

desk radio The desk radio is a design sketch to research proportions, surface materials and behaviour between physical movement and visual feedback. Its form factor is partly inspired by the Braun HiFi collections of the 60s and 70s, designed by Dieter Rams. This applies to the speaker cover and the clear layout design, for example. The stone-like surface makes the radio look like a decorative object that can be placed on a desk or shelf, creating a harmonious image in combination with its surroundings. The monochrome gray tone, which was also chosen for the display, emphasises the minimalist and understated look.

R62.5 Performance Sampler Industrial design, interaction design and prototyping The R62.5 is an electronic musical instrument in which sounds are arranged and sequenced by physically rotating discs. The device has emerged out of a critical examination with interfaces of current electronic instruments and represents a counter concept to common reserved and rigid ways of use. The object-oriented and dynamic performance of the R62.5 sequencer is highlighting and visualising the musical loops which are an essential part of electronic genres. The movement, construction and colours enable the viewer to understand the processes and changes in the music, emphasising the virtuosity of the musician and the machine.
SOMI-1 MIDI Controller Client: Instruments of Things Industrial design, interaction design and prototyping SOMI-1 is a motion sensor wearable system for sound control. It allows users to play and control music via movements. It is designed for musicians, dancers and live performers who want to interact with music in a virtuosic way. The motion sensors measure movements, tilt angles and accelerations in different directions with low latency and transform them into sound parameters in real-time.
IO-Lights MIDI Controller Client: Instruments of Things Industrial design, interaction design and prototyping IO-Lights is a MIDI controller that controls MIDI CC or MIDI Note messages via environmental light. A high-resolution light sensor in the center of the product makes it possible. In addition, MIDI notes can also be sent to IO-Lights, which are then represented as light by the 12 LEDs on the device.
