SOVAGE ENGINEERING creates sonic research tools for analog freaks and sound explorers.
It's a one-man boutique brand from France, all made one at a time with passion and love, with an anti–mass production vision and self-funded. A 100% organic brand that values its users and creativity more than its marketing. Call me crazy, but I do believe machines have a soul if they are made and handled with care!
_THE BACKGROUND
From studio rat to DJ to live performer, from the rock scene to the techno one, from the most underground to the mainstream… I won’t go too far into the details, but let’s say that music has a big place in my life. All this, mixed with a nerdy brain and a passion for always learning and challenging boundaries, you get the big picture. The background is now pretty much set. But really, I’m just a stubborn guy that goes with the flow and gets 100% devoted to the things I start that resonate with me. That guy who plays a game with all the characters, on all difficulty levels, makes all the side quests and unlocks all the endings… yeah, a bit intense for some!
On the tech side, I had the chance to have a brother passionate about gear, so I was surrounded by vintage and modern equipment of all types from a very young age.
I started making and selling pedal clones, modding and repairing broken gear for people around me, and using the money to build my personal studio and music production setup.
This filled my brain with loads of schematics from different types of equipment, from super cheap to high-grade mastering and Hi-Fi, which might explain my constant need to design new circuits based on my mixed knowledge.
_THE MISSION
My mission is to have people discover my philosophy by slowly building the Sovage ecosystem and introducing a new way to make music and design sound. A philosophy that I hope will be recognised through its distinctive tone and sound design, full of character and mojo, yet with versatility that stays focused on the creativity of its users.
It stays true to the core of modular sound design, which is patching and connecting devices together to create something new. There is no good or bad way to use Sovage Engineering equipment, they can adapt to your style, mood and soul.
It’s a journey full of side quests, rich in experiences!
