KETHER music is composed using analog hardware and software, creating an organic-electric live soundscape feel within its airwaves. Jacobs and Hauser referred to their style as “intermingling-melodic and sub-sonic frequencies”, creating an open space for brain neurons to assimilate the experience. KETHER's style of music created a hybrid sub-genre of its own; blending musical interpretations of minimal, dubstep, IDM, breaks and glitch. https://www.stephanjacobs.net/professional daily 0.75 2025-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/004600db-6347-4b27-a859-e1d818eede5b/certification-Shure-Master-Class_-Wireless-Best-Practices-%26-Techniques-stephanjacobsmusic%40gmail.com.jpg Professional - SHURE / AUDIO INSTITUTE (RF CERTIFICATION) Shure Master Class: Wireless Best Practices & Techniques https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/9f702e18-8426-4a4e-a94f-f117a482dfa3/Screen+Shot+2024-07-20+at+3.58.33+PM.png Professional - My Video Work Explore videos that showcase my expertise in crafting compelling visual narratives using Premiere Pro and Resolume, enhancing my artistic expressions along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/253583a0-88d9-463f-ad37-e355fba52ad7/certification-2nd-Edition-Dante-Level-3---English-stephanjacobsmusic%40gmail.com.jpg Professional - Audinate DANTE Certification in Level’s 1, 2 & 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/1582822174792-KLO4G5QIF9SVXZ5JWG9V/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-02-27%2Bat%2B8.49.29%2BAM.jpg Professional https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/1582822540862-TXW9R8CTQHX9WR962P8R/IMG_7187.jpg Professional https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e473251cf05041cb5e75617/1da32e17-c2af-4729-9236-e6a3e89ecf5c/338371901_1602443270270983_3630900753235020507_n.jpeg Professional - AUDIO @ UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD I hold down a part-time job near my home at Universal Studios Hollywood, I work as an Audio Mixer.
