Welcome to the Sonic Kitchen.

I am a musician and multimedia artist who designs audio plugins and custom hardware instruments. I treat my laboratory as a kitchen, crafting each processor as a hot dish. No pretentious theories—just pure 1970s warm analog vibes and a love for sonic experimentation.

The Chef & The Kitchen

A recipe of code, solder, and analog vintage tape hiss.

My name is Francesco. I am a musician, coder, and soldering-iron chef. My creative playground lies at the intersection of music performance, DSP coding, and analog circuit design.

I develop software audio plugins (like creative granular samplers and warm stereo delays) and build physical hardware pedals from scratch. The name The Sonic Kitchen reflects my design philosophy: making gear is like cooking. It requires the best ingredients, a balanced recipe, careful timing, and most importantly, not taking yourself too seriously.

This vintage 1970s aesthetic pays homage to the absolute peak era of analog musical experimentation, where tape loops, vintage transistors, and early synthesizers redefined what we call "music".
