Rob Rayle, aka Outersect, is a audio technologist, software engineer and musician based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rob began training as a classical pianist at age 10 before graduating to synthesizers at age 16. He spent years composing and performing in rock bands before the Burning Man festival altered his musical direction to electronic music. Outersect’s live productions, performances, DJ sets, and his collaborations with other local artists and collectives have created memorable musical events across the West Coast, USA.

Rob has been experimenting with physical modeling since 2004. You can hear various versions of his approach to physical modeling on all the Outersect recordings. The Modeler was originally an add-on product for the Kyma Capybara by Symbolic Sound.
