I’m Gerhard Funabiki-Senz, a sound designer and audio developer based between Tokyo and Vienna. I’ve spent years working with synthesizers, field recordings, and sound for film.
Echograin is where I turn that experience into instruments and sounds you can use in your own music.

Instruments with character

Echograin makes software instruments and sound packs for producers who want something with personality, not another folder of generic presets. Tranzwave is a Kontakt synthesizer built from carefully sampled wavetables of the Ensoniq Fizmo, a rare 90s synth that’s no longer made. Petrichor is a sound pack inspired by the Japanese rainy season. Everything I release starts from my own recordings and my own ears.

Need something custom?

Alongside the products, I take on custom work: sound design,music compositions, mixing and mastering and field recording, .
If you’re a producer, filmmaker, or developer looking for a specific sound, get in touch.
