In this installment of the ILIO Artist Circle, we explore his journey from programming a Minimoog one note at a time to composing for film and television.
A two-time winner of the Roland Corporation International Synthesizer Competition, Amin has crafted a unique sound that spans projects like Interstellar Suite, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Anne with an E. Along the way, he’s been mentored and inspired by legends like Steve Porcaro, Jerry Goldsmith, David Greene, Larry Fast, and Isao Tomita—each shaping his approach to composition and sound design.
In this conversation, Amin reflects on his early breakthroughs, the creative power of limitations, and how evolving technology has shaped his work.
Amin’s passion for sound design and orchestration has led him to tools that go beyond traditional sampling. In this conversation, he reflects on his early breakthrough in a synthesizer competition, the creative advantages of working within limitations, and how he approaches music today.
But this is only the beginning—Part Two launches at the end of March, where Amin takes a hands-on approach, walking through Audio Modeling’s SWAM instruments. These physically modeled virtual instruments react and respond like real acoustic performers, offering an unmatched level of expressiveness and realism. Stay tuned for a deep dive into how Amin brings his music to life using cutting-edge technology.
