ENDORSEMENTS

“He is skilled, reliable, and simply a pleasure to work with. I have also followed his technical writing, instructional columns and product reviews and he is one of my go-to writers to read, whom I know will deliver an accurate and instructional entry on the subject at hand. Can you tell I like this guy? I give him my strongest and heartiest recommendation!”

Jerry Kovarsky, Korg

“Francis is an amazing sound designer. His ability to listen to a sound once and recreate it in Ableton's Operator or Xfer's Serum is something you have to see for yourself. He is a true pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.”

James Stout, Roland

"Francis is an insider. He knows the field as well or better than anyone. His work with some of the top companies in the field such as Roland and Xfer is testament to his skills and talent. As I’ve gotten to know Francis better my admiration for his abilities only grows. His work now with SXSW is proof that he is able to function at the very highest level of his field.”

Jeff Rona, Wide Blue Sky

“I've worked with Francis in various capacities for nearly 15 years. Francis is a keen marketing and product strategist who understands the intrinsic connection between technology and user experience. As a talented sound designer, educator, and writer, Frances is a go-to collaborator for many respected music technology companies that rely on his unique ability to apply real-world context to a product roadmap, and then distill the results into a compelling marketing message. In short, Francis combines the mind of an inventor with the ears of an artist and the pen of a master communicator.”

Kyle Ritland, Avid

“Francis's creativity, attention to detail, and drive to create powerful and educational content make him an invaluable collaborator. He uniquely blends a passion and knowledge for electronic music and musical instruments with articulative writing and teaching skills. He is a contributor both to our products and the messaging that educates and excites people about them.”

James Sajeva, Korg
