Folk musician · Audio developer · Researcher
Stefano Baldan
I make music, and I build the tools I wish I had while making it — songs on the Irish mandola, audio plugins for people who mix, and a decade of research into how sound works. All of it lives here.
Folk musician
One voice, one mandola, a room full of dancers.
I play balfolk — music for dancing — on the Irish mandola, accompanied by singing, stomping, and a little electroacoustic colour. Traditional tunes and originals of my own, rooted in the repertoire of the Venetian area I call home. A modern instrument with an ancient sound, poised between tradition and experiment.
Indie plugin maker
Audio plugins, built by a musician.
It starts with Duono — a mono-to-stereo widener with one knob and a perfect mono fold-down: wide where it counts, identical where it matters. Bigger, more ambitious tools are in the works. Each one tested in real sessions, by someone who has to live with the results.
DSP professional · Researcher
A decade spent asking how sound actually works.
My background is in Sound and Music Computing. On the EU project SkAT-VG I led the work on imitation-driven sound synthesis — designing sounds by voice and gesture — and built physically-informed models for the sounds of everyday objects and interactions. It's the signal-processing craft I still draw on every time I build an audio plugin.
About & contact
One person, a few crafts.
Italian by birth, based in Berlin. Software engineer by trade, with more than ten years across frontend development and Digital Signal Processing — and a musician for far longer than that. I care about accessibility, beautiful code, and sound that means something.
