06 — The Studio
I:Cube has always been private about his exact equipment, but across interviews and fan discussions, a picture emerges of a producer who values tactile, analog interaction with machines over screen-based composition.
His early setup was primitive: a Casio mini sampler, cheap consumer electronics from Tandy, recording straight to tape. Over time he graduated to a proper sampler, drum machines, and synthesizers. By the mid-1990s he was ready to release music.
For Eye Cube (2023), he set aside the computer entirely, recording all eight tracks by improvising with electronic hardware in real time — synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, and effects units — with very little after-editing. The Cubo Live Sessions followed the same philosophy: no computers, just a free conversation with machines.
The track "Gypsotheque" was made with a Gaveau Piano, Moog Sub37, and granular synthesis, partially recorded during his Villa Medici residency in Rome.
His production philosophy has remained remarkably consistent: spontaneity over perfection, instinct over calculation, the raw energy of the moment over the comfort of endless revision.
