Hello everyone!
I’m David Olofson, from Sweden, 44 years old, and I’ve been playing around with sound, music and related stuff since… before I can remember, pretty much.
Started out with actual music with MOD trackers on the Amiga, then got into hardware synths, and eventually, DAWs with audio recording, started doing a bit of vocals, and got to the point of getting the occasional songwriting collaboration request - but somewhere around there, I pretty much dropped music, for various reasons.
For about two decades, I just played around with game development, audio/synth engines, got involved a bit with Linux audio (LADSPA, JACK and all that), did a bit of vocal recording and editing etc, but didn’t write/compose anything, apart from some experimental stuff using my engines.
About three years ago, I decided to start building a new DAW and studio, then got into virtual orchestration, did research, joined workshops, started collecting sample libraries, and started participated in competitions and challenges. Along the way, I also started playing the violin, and just recently, the cello. (The dangers of research…)
And… This playlist pretty much sums up the last year and a half:
I also participated in RPM Challenge 2019:
