Arturia

Frédéric Brun grew up in Paris, France and has been playing the violin since age 6. He attended university studying chemical engineering, but always had music in his head and a desire to start his own company. These dreams became a reality when Frederic met Gilles Pommereuil, another student at the Grenoble Institute of Technology, and together they started Arturia with a goal of using technology to bring music to everyone. The first product they released, Storm, was a virtual studio with capabilities of being used anywhere by anyone to create music.

Glen Darcey’s journey in music began as a young saxophonist who attended a summer session at Berklee College of Music in 1980, where he realized his future would not be as a professional performer but as an innovator behind the instruments themselves. Discovering synthesizers sparked a lifelong passion, leading Glen to learn keyboards and perform in new wave bands while immersing himself in the emerging world of electronic music technology.
