Musician, builder, one-person label.
I'm Richard Gillespie, a musician based in Ontario, Canada, and the founder of Gillespie Audio. I make electronic music and build audio apps for musicians, producers, and listeners.
Moved from guitar into keyboards and synthesizers after getting into bands like Pink Floyd.
Studied jazz piano, played in a reggae band, and built the foundations for production.
Settled into Deep House production and started building music software.
TEMPO-1, VA-1, and Ambient Meditation are live across iPhone, iPad, and compatible Mac workflows, with Gillespie Audio continuing to build focused music tools.
Electronic music, synths, and software for creative work.
Small tools with a musician's point of view.
Gillespie Audio is my one-person music software label. TEMPO-1 is a live-sampling groovebox, VA-1 1.2.0 adds virtual-analog synthesis and stereo WAV recording, and Ambient Meditation is now completely free.
Great musical tools should feel inspiring, focused, and affordable enough for students and independent musicians.
Long-term, I'd like to partner with music education institutions to offer Gillespie Audio software to students at a discount.
