Arturia brute5/19/2023 Unfortunately the way music was taught in France (at least in these days) was academic and dull and I rapidly got bored and lost my interest. Yves Usson: When I was a child, I took lessons of music for two years. GS: When did you start making music and what was your first synthesizer? That was it! My old passion was back, I had to build myself an analogue modular synthesizer.Īrturia MiniBrute – Synthesizer of the year 2012 I realized with internet a lot of resources (schematics, service manuals) were now available and that the basic electronic components (transistors, OPamps) for these where still available. This lasted until year 2000 while surfing on the internet, I came across a site dedicated to SDIY (synthesizer do it yourself). However, this departure abroad marked a break in my interest in electronics and the start of 25 years of interest in computer programming. After what, I returned to Grenoble with a permanent position in the main scientific research agency in France (C.N.R.S.) working at the university as a fulltime researcher. Then I left France for a couple of years to work as a scientist in New Zealand. Then I passed all the degrees in cellular and molecular biology and eventually I received a PhD in 1985.Īlong all these years my hobby for electronics grew in strength while I tried building my own electronic music circuits and first modular synthesizer (the US1). Then I went to university where I lost two boring years at the medical school before I switched to biology. When I was a teenager in the 70s, I was very interested in ham-radio and this got me into learning myself electronics by reading books and electronics magazines and I eventually became head of the club of electronics at my high school. Ever since I was a child I have always been attracted by science and technology. Yves Usson: Well, I am 55 years old and I live in Grenoble in the French Alps. GS: Yves, can you please tell us a bit about yourself? Yves Usson (aka yusynth) in front of his beloved analogue modular synthesizers (left : home-made yusynth modular right : modular).
