Walker is a lifelong student of music in all the forms he can find. Growing up he studied classical piano and composition, dabbled in rudimentary computer music, and finally discovered hardware synthesizers in 2001 when a Korg MS2000 caught his ears and fingers. Forays into continental philosophy, jazz piano, lap steel guitar and bartending did nothing to slow his expanding exploration of sound. By 2008, modular synths had become his instrument of focus, and in 2013 he joined Make Noise, where he runs the production line and spreads synth knowledge through videos.
