About Ken
Ken began his music creation journey in his early teens playing in local bands and learning the ropes of both stage management and live sound. He discovered a passion for synthesizers and samplers through record digging while crafting hip hop beats. Studying early recordings of experimental music as well as his fathers HAM radio room, Ken developed a desire for the cutting edge as well as the experimental and DIY aspect of electronic music.
Gravitating toward exploration of the intricacies involved in synthesis and sampling techniques of hip hop. Ken began performing in beat battles and showcase events across the east coast. Sharing knowledge wherever he traveled. This quickly evolved into teaching music courses and sound design.
Through out the 2010’s Ken managed to consult on a multitude of products ranging from sequencers, modular synthesizers, analog and digital synthesizers, samplers and effects units. He has crafted presets for a wide variety of software and hardware synthesizers as well as created numerous sample packs. Along the way Ken created a website and video channel dedicated to teaching and telling the stories that hide behind the gear he has been so inspired by. Learning as much as possible from the incredible minds who have paved the way for electronic music.
Ken worked closely with the ASM team during the original Hydrasynth development cycle as a beta tester and sound designer. Joining the ASM family full time in 2021 Ken is hoping to continue to bring a passionate love for music, the gear, and the culture that ASM is devoted to enriching.
When not working, Ken enjoys crafting Modbap and underground hip hop beats, hosting Podcasts and the occasional fresh air fishing trip. His guilty pleasure is video games.
