Make Noise was founded in 2008 by Tony Rolando, a self-taught electronic musical instrument designer who got started by obsessively reading amateur radio books at the public library, building electronics for artists, working for Moog Music, and playing in bands for many years.
It is simple to make an easy module with limited functionality. For Tony the goal is to create highly functional modules which are inspiring to use and have potential to grow with the user.
They think what they do is fun and we hope you like it, too.
Tony was involved in building the light controlled mixer for Simon Lee’s “Bus Obscura,” working for Moog Music, and playing in bands for many years. After 3 years of isolation on a mountain top he founded Make Noise.
What started as a re-visioning of jettisoned music technology has grown into a crew of folks working together in Asheville, NC, to design and build some pretty strange, but thoughtful modular synthesizers.
Make Noise sees their instruments as a collaboration with musicians who create once in a lifetime performances that push boundaries and play the notes between the notes to discover the unfound sounds.
The goal is for the instruments to be an experience, one that will require you to change our trajectories and thereby impact the way we understand and imagine sound.
From modules to popular desktop units.
Make Noise started with manufacturing modules for eurorack modular synthesisers however they are now the company behind ‘the holy trinity’ of desktop instruments which consists of Make Noise Strega, Make Noise 0-CTRL & Make Noise 0-Coast.
Strega is an instrument designed in collaboration with Alessandro Cortini. Inspired by Cortini’s music and sonic experimentations, Strega embodies the seen and unseen, the sign and magic, the alchemy of sound. Strega is able to conjure audio tones, generate control signals, and process external sounds.
