Hey! If you came here you probably want to know a bit more about me and the Electric Canary project.

 

I'm Antoine (here's me with my awfully messy board), I'm an electronic engineer, musician, sound engineer and founder of Electric Canary.

Antoine Ricoux founder Electric Canary

I currently live in Nantes but my pedal-making history begins in the south of France, in my parent's garage to be more precise. I spent hours upon hours in company of nasty mosquitoes and my father's singing canaries, trying to finally understand what's going on in my Big Muff.

 

That summer, I came out of this garage with early stage prototypes, a newfound motivation to innovate and an interesting name for a pedal company.

 

Since then I got degrees in Engineering and Musicology. I did my master degree in Sound at ENS Louis-Lumière ( here's my complicated master's thesis if you're intersted). I'm currently working as an electronic engineer making all kind of audio equipment.

 

My background in sound engineering led me to discover innovative ways to reinvent the guitar pedal while picturing the exact sound I want to achieve.

 

I hope this website and my devices can sparkle your creativity.
