THE STACK
From physical control to musical behaviour
For SOFI AIRLINES, engineering means reverse-engineering aircraft cockpit components and translating their signals into musical control. The technical stack can include:
- Python
- Ableton Live
- MIDI & OSC
- Custom electronics
- Boeing 737 & Airbus A320 cockpit hardware
- Interface design & human-machine interaction
The complexity is real, but the goal is simple: make technology emotional. Technology should never replace artistic expression — it should expand it.
WHY IT MATTERS
Designing instruments, not adapting to them
Most artists adapt their creativity to existing tools. Sofi's engineering lets him do the opposite — build the instrument the idea requires. That is why a cockpit can become a synthesizer, and why the live show can behave like a flight. Explore the studio and creative process.
