Carlos Davey
About
My work is concerned with the intersection of art and science, specifically the space between physics and music. A high level of technical education in physics, acoustics, and audio programming combined with a lifelong passion for music, and experience in producing, mixing, and mastering gives me a unique understanding of what can be achieved through sound for your project, and how to do it. Awarded the Daiwa scholarship in 2022 I am currently based in Tokyo, Japan where I am studying Japanese.
