“Thanks for the feature, SYNTH ANATOMY

Everything you see in the STIGMA short film exists physically.

No CGI.

No 3D renders.

Every wall, every gear, every cable and every creature was built by hand using reclaimed materials before a single frame of the film was photographed.

The stop-motion animation itself required thousands of individual photographs, captured one frame at a time over months of work.

I didn't want to introduce STIGMA with a traditional product video.

I wanted to build a world around it.

A place that feels as if it has always existed, waiting to tell its story.

The complete short film is now available on YouTube.

I hope you'll enjoy exploring the world of STIGMA as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Stigma is an analog processor featuring resonant filters, VCAs, tube circuits, and voltage-controlled controls, available both as a Eurorack module and as a desktop instrument.

Stigma was not designed to fit into any specific category.

It is not just a filter.
It is not just a distortion pedal.
It is not just a Eurorack module.
And it is not just a pedal.

It is a tool for sound transformation.

It can process synthesizers, drum machines, modular signals, recordings, vocals, electronic instruments, and—thanks to its dedicated high-impedance input—even guitars and basses.

The goal was not to design an effect.

The goal was to create a space for sonic exploration.

"Introducing ARCAICO STIGMA in its Eurorack version. ⚡️

We are also in the final stages of developing a Desktop version, specifically designed to interface natively with guitars, synthesizers, and drum machines, expanding integration possibilities beyond classic modular systems.

STIGMA is a powerhouse of pure energy, engineered to push your sound into sonic landscapes that defy the ordinary. 🌌

The sound you've been searching for is about to take shape."

"Deep within the temple, the gears have started turning again. Something organic is growing among the metal ruins: the biomechanical nest for the next Arcaico creature.

This set was entirely handmade, shaping raw materials to give depth to a universe that takes no shortcuts. No CGI, no AI. Just stop-motion, patience, and fingers stained with concrete.

The journey has just begun. Are you ready to see what hides in the shadows?

Set components:

Concrete and plaster

Polystyrene and cardboard

Electronic scrap material"

Arcaico Matrioska is a new creative 6-channel stereo mixer and VCA module with CV-controllable panning, crossfading, and more.

28/10/2025

NOW AVAILABLE!

MATRIOSKA is a modular VCA mixer
designed as a layered structure:
each level hides and reveals another.
Six independent channels, each with its own identity,
intertwine in mono or stereo configurations,
building ever-changing soundscapes.

The first four channels include CV-controllable panners,
allowing you to sculpt the space and create
dynamic movements between outputs.
Pairs 1+2 and 3+4 can act as independent
crossfaders or as internal sub-mixes,
while each channel remains free to exist independently
through its own direct output.

The final stereo output (L/R) brings all the voices together
into a single form. When used in mono,
the L output automatically sums the signal,
transforming Matrioska into a flexible node that
can be adapted to any configuration of your system.

Within each sound, another sound.
