Music is the universal language that connects us all through its Passion and emotion. The ASKJA Origin system, created by ASKJA Founder Didier Kwak in cooperation with Formula One engineers in Switzerland, delivers an uncompromised achievement in musicality and veracity. Didier sees the Origin system as a culmination of his life’s passions and appreciation for the things that may be explained through technology, but are best understood by the way they make you feel. Inspired and breathtaking in its design, the ASKJA Origin system connects emotionally with its owners the way only live performances and beauty can.
Graduating with a Master’s Degree in Broadcasting & Cinematography, Didier began his professional career as a film and TV Commercial editor, then transitioned to visual effects (VFX). At 25, he met Luc Besson, and worked with him on the film The Fifth Element. He continued working in VFX for 25 years. Throughout these many projects, he never stopped innovating, always mixing art and technology within the heart of the digital tools and the images. Key innovations continued to improve the digital image quality. However, Didier was increasingly disappointed by the sound quality.
Reading psychoacoustics publications, the science that studies the actual physiological perception of sound by the ears and brain combined, he unveiled many mistakes made in the audio industry since the 1970s and the gap between theory and perception. He felt there was too much focus on achieving perfect technical curves, when the most important aspect is left behind.
Just as attentive to his intuitions as to electro-acoustic concepts, Didier created his first prototype in 2009. The ASKJA Origin System was born. He invited composers and directors to hear his system and their praise for what he’d accomplished was unanimous.
