Dr. Ir. Stéphane Pigeon,
research engineer & sound designer
Sound is my passion. The major part of my work relates to sound processing, where sound design represents the artistic side of it. Between 1994 and 2015, I've been working for Roland Corporation, a leading electronic musical instrument manufacturer. My exclusive contract with Roland Japan prevented me from working for any other manufacturer in the field during that period of time, but gave me a rare opportunity to work at the leading edge of the state-of-the-art technologies in synthesizer design! Today, I am free as a (pigeon) bird again!
