Carlos Davey
About Me
Hi, I'm Carlos! I work between the intersection of art and science, specifically the space between physics and music. A technical education in physics, acoustics, DSP, and audio programming, combined with a classical training and lifelong passion for music, gives me a unique understanding of what can be achieved through sound for your project, and how to do it.
Currently I am based in Hamamatsu, Japan, where I work at YAMAHA as an effects engineer for digital musical instruments. From concept to VST prototype to onboard DSP program I like to wrangle the whole process.
In my spare time I like to practice ikebana and kickboxing when I'm not working on some of my own music!
