Michael Kastrup is a Danish synthesist whose primary trait is being a sound
designer and consultant for various soft and hardware companies. Michael has
worked on and off in the music industry since the early 80's as an arranger, engineer,
composer and producer. Michael has also made music for TV shows, theatre and
art exhibits.
After an eight year hiatus from the music scene in the 90's Michael started
to pick up on synthesis again in 2002. Michael was curious about how far
synthesis had got using software form. From then on its been a journey into all
kinds of synthesis with the main focus being the use of additive waveforms and
wavetables.
Michael usually works in his compact "Goldfish Studio" which today consists
of 75% software and 25% hardware. In the early 80's the studio started out with
a Tascam 4 tracks tapemachine, a Soundcraft mixer and a Yamaha CS 30
synthesizer, 30 years later Michael has had about 75% of all synthesizers through
his hands, Waldorf PPG Wave being one of his favorites.
Michael's prefered genres are ambient, Berlin school and smooth jazz.
