Stephan Whitlan

Stephan Whitlan, who hails from Ireland, began playing piano at the age of 5. By his early teens he had realized that the sounds he was hearing from his radio of 70's pop & prog music came from altogether different instruments. It was the start of a quest, which got him to his first synthesizer, a Korg MS-20, in his final years at school.
Whilst studying architecture at Sheffield University during the ‘80’s, many more instruments joined the Korg, including a Mini-Moog.
