Joakim Kock (Universe)

Hello! Im Universe!

I create danceable darkwave and electronic music with some space-inspired influences. My journey began in 1983, working with analogue synthesizers and vintage drum machines.

I entered a few music contests along the way, though I never made it to the finals. After that, the project went on ice for several years, but now I’m back, sharper and more inspired than ever.

Born in 1968, I’m a father of three and work as an automation engineer. Synth music has always been my passion, especially the sound and feel of the early ’80s. I own a wide range of synthesizers and play them as often as I can. My setup includes Korg, Roland, and Yamaha hardware, along with various software synths and DAWs, chosen purely by mood 🙃
