Welcome to the home of KORG Berlin, led by Tatsuya Takahashi.
Our products need to be worth the heat to smelt the ore, the hands in the assembly, the gasoline burnt to carry, the space in your minds and the voice to which it is married.
KORG Berlin is a transdisciplinary development team designing new musical instruments. We recognise that releasing a product always has societal, cultural, economical and environmental impact.
Our goal is to be positive 
in every one of them.

Hey, I am Anna.
I love creating playlists and eating big plates of delicious food in nice spots, very fast.
Besides that, I am obsessed with everything your granny would approve: vintage and secondhand interior/clothing, tea, power naps &amp; all things golden.
I am growing with my tasks and numbers while enabling the wholesome team at KORG Berlin.

Anna

Hi there!
My name is Fabian and I really like Steely Dan.
I’ve dedicated the better part of a decade to the world of audio research and development, first in academia, then at a local music tech company and now at KORG!
My background is in electrical engineering and I specialize in audio DSP, analog circuit modeling, digital audio effects and machine learning for audio. I’m also really good at making emojis.
See you around!

Fabian

Conas atá sibh?
I&#8217;m Iarla. I like making noise and telling computers what to do, which I&#8217;ll be doing in our quest to create beautiful new instruments here.
Otherwise, you&#8217;ll find me exploring Berlin by bike or composing tunes!

Hola,
My name is Luca, based in Berlin, but Italian by birth.
I spent over half of my life cultivating a passion for Music and Dancing. They boost up my mood and my energy every day of my journey.
I&#8217;m a hardware developer mainly involved in fabrication and prototyping. I&#8217;m very eager to progress, create and be part of any projects.

Luca

Hi, I’m Lukas
I feel like a lot of my life revolves around sound &#8211; listening, studying, making and organising it. I also sometimes wear a gummy bear earring, and from asking around it seems its actually that which defines me.
At KORG Berlin, I spend time making sure things behave as as they should, and if not I usually spend some more time finding out why.

Hey! My name is Samantha, Sam for short.
Whether indoors or outdoors, I always have a hat on my head. Except for in this portrait.
At KORG Berlin, I am responsible for making instruments out of some strange and beautiful materials that compliment the planet. I work with a nice mix of hand and digital craft.

Hi. I&#8217;m Tats
and I love calipers.
I&#8217;ve spent a good chunk of my life building instruments for KORG in Japan and then I left for another gig. And now, I&#8217;m back with KORG, but this time in Berlin.
I&#8217;m schooled in electrical engineering so that&#8217;s still my core competance, but I&#8217;m also heading the mechanical and industrial design here as well as running the company as CEO.
There&#8217;s nothing a good pair of calipers won&#8217;t sort out.

Tats

Hi – I’m Tom,
I like to make things that people can enjoy. Food, music, electronics – things that are both object and experience.
At Korg, I’ll be moving electrons around until something strange, wonderful or exciting happens.

Ciao, I’m Verena
and I like Italy. Everything about it. Food, too, so I was intrigued being involved in giving birth to our The Pyjama Cookbook.
I am responsible for everything related to communication, working remotely in PJs from home, that is Cologne.
