Archive 2024: Sound Design Blueprint

First you know it, then you understand it, then you can explain it.

Visual templates for the Arturia Minibrute 2 and a WebAR experiment. Ready-made patch templates designed to accelerate the sound design process — each one built around an iconic track and made interactive through WebAR, so you can explore and refine parameters directly on the synth in augmented reality, without a native app.

Freaks Like Me

Inspired by the Sugababes' 2002 track — smooth vocal harmonies layered over raw, industrial-tinged production with a deep rolling bassline. References the influence of Gary Numan and early electro.

Sunglasses at Night

Based on Tiga's reinterpretation of Corey Hart's 1984 classic. The Canadian producer's version is known for its brooding synth textures and pulsating basslines — a sleek, club-ready fusion of electroclash and techno.

Age of Love

A 1990 rave anthem and one of the pioneering tracks of trance music. Iconic arpeggiated synth lines, ethereal pads, and a progressive structure that builds relentlessly.

Push It Good

Inspired by Salt-N-Pepa's 1987 hit produced by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor. Built around an instantly recognisable synth riff that defined the sound of late-80s electro-pop.

My Situation

Based on Yazoo's 1982 synth-pop track. The British duo — Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet — were known for their innovative use of synthesizers, combining minimalist electronic production with powerful vocals. This template captures the infectious synth riff and pulsating bassline.

Bad Guy Bass

Inspired by Billie Eilish's 2019 breakout hit — stripped-down yet powerful, built around a syncopated bassline and deliberate minimalism in the production.
