The story of my brand seems strange and random,
although ideas never comes by pure chance.
The seed of all was given by my dad, fireman and guitar player. One of the first memories (5 y.o.) I have is about a little Lego car that he powered with a small electric 3V motor. I imagined an invisible force moving that car and I started to understand that it was the same magic that let sounds and voices coming out from the radio, the same that let me change TV channels from the remote control, realising that, maybe, inside thie TV there wasn't many small mens talking and shooting as I used to think :-).
The most crucial moment arrived some years later, when my TV had broken making crackling noises, smoke and flames. I brought it to the closest electrician and when he opened it in front of me, I saw many boards inside it, like micro cities with a lot of micro copper roads with small and big buildings, cables, powder.... and the big capacitor that blew in flames.
At that very moment I understood what I would have liked to do in my future, if I wouldn’t be able to become an astronaut.
Since then every cassette recorder, walkman, calculator, literally everything that had screws became my victim.
At the high school I studied industrial electronics and fortunately my electronic teacher was an audiophile, so all the projects we made were focused on preamps, filtering etc etc..
Finally, during these years my dad bought my first electric guitar. I was 16 y.o.when I started to play and at the same time I discovered Sonic Youth, Shellac and John Spencer Blues Explosion, which also used a theremin to play. So I built my first circuit, a theremin like 555 oscillator to use in my band.
During those years my dad kept on asking me why I didn't project something for musicians yet, like battery testers or copying some guitar distortions we found occasionallyin mounting kit sold in a little components shop near home. I was young, not so brave, and didn't take care of his words.
