Background

YALU is Federico De Lellis, a computer scientist and experimenter in the musical field who applies technology to sound by combining the worlds of traditional instruments with electroacoustic music. The performances are a mix of improvisation and programming with modular synthesizers, in continuous research and experimentation of new and uncompromising sounds.

Morph

In the summer of 2020, “Morph” came to life in Federico’s studio office, in a small town in the centre of Italy, Cori. There, alongside Francesco Z. – marketing manager, from a first bent piece of metal, an early draft of Sputnik was born. As Marco – content manager watched the early version of the eurorack case, struck by the shape, the name of the brand and its payoff EX ASTRIS were born from his vision.

As the adventure progressed over the years, methodical precision and a creative approach were added to the team, Francesco – photographer and media specialist with a past as a guitarist, has been engaged in validating the assembly part of each product and transforming moments into timeless memories being the magician of the social media identity of Morph.
