(how did it all start, where did I have idea, what did I want to achieve ? mention first sunics ever, show image)

How did the idea of Sunics come up ? What lead to it ? Did it just happen as an academic exercise ?

No, every idea grows in the mind of the inventor over years, until it makes itself known to him. Here's the story of how Sunics found Diego:

• 1983: Diego buys his first analog synthesizer(Juno 6) and discovered a deep fascination for the unlimited potential of sounds that men could create
• gaterhing more synths, exploring sound scapes and admiring the artists who are weaving (sometimes sneaking) synthethic sounds into the music stream
• 1994: first contact with 'electronica'...followed by hundreds of hours savouring the 'bleeps', 'swirrlz' and 'blubbers' that no man has ever heard before
• developing a language that describes sounds as 'bubbly', 'sparkly', 'dark', 'acidy', 'fat' and 'warm'
• 1996: slightly frustrated by the limitations of language in describing sounds, Diego starts to wonder how sounds could be visualised in an intuitive way (every picture tells a story)
• 1998: sitting on the roof of his camper van, admiring the night sky of a Western Australian desert, a rather simple but convincing idea comes to mind (silly - but it's gotta work)
• ???: named the concept 'sunic' - a mix of 'sun' and 'sonic'  that stands for throwing light on audio

• taking job as Java developer to learn how to properly program software - so the silly idea can be tested

• ???: programming the first prototype over the X-Mas break. The first ever Sunic shows up on a screen
