Artist statement
Hey! I'm Ward Slager (1996, NL), electronic musician, instrument designer and entrepreneur.
I'm fascinated by electronic and physical sounds. I'm fascinated by using algorithms in my process of creation. I'm fascinated by the way technology shapes the music that we make.
I seek to combine the precision and sonic detail of computer based music production with the playfulness and performability of physical instruments into an idiosyncratic novel instrument called the PolyPulse. As founder of λ Lambda Synthetics I am working towards launching the PolyPulse: an unconventional live performance workstation for the musician who isn't afraid to experiment.
Ambitions
In 2023 I will start producing the PolyPulse with my company Lambda Synthetics.
Several ideas for future products are being researched, but nothing definitive can be said yet about what will be the next step. Sign up for the mailing list to stay updated.. 😉 --> https://lambdasynthetics.com/#subscribe
Learned during the studies
The MMus enabled me to invest time into adapting my creative vision into a product, to professionalize my practice and allowed me to realize a solid starting point from which to grow my electronic instruments company.
