About

I’m IZAN BUENO, a Barcelona-based music producer and sound engineer working at the intersection of creative audio and product development. I’ve been producing and mixing since 2007, shaping urban tracks and sound design while also leading the technical side of audio tools and releases. Over the last year, I founded Astra Creative Audio, building the brand and taking it from scratch to a catalogue of plugins with its own identity, campaigns, and business model.

What I bring is a full loop: production and recording, objective-driven audio engineering, plugin development across macOS and Windows, and brand-led marketing and content. I aim for projects where sound and software meet—where I can handle production, engineering, product direction, and visual/communication work end-to-end, from the first idea to the first sale.

Astra Station: a DAW that teaches music like a video game

Role: Founder and product director at Astra Creative Audio (product vision, UX, sound, content). What it is: Astra Station is our own DAW: playlist, step sequencer, piano roll, mixer and plugins, plus a game layer for learning music production. Learning: 73 lessons across five worlds (piano, the camera-played Tesseracto synth, music theory, mix & master, beatmaker tricks) with XP, daily streaks and rewards, guided by our mascot Astrini. Astraverse: a skill tree (digging, drums, melody, pre-mix, arrangement, design) and weekly missions that only level up when you actually use the tools. Loop Battle: loop battles between crews, with votes. Collaboration rooms: video call, chat and a synced project in one room, so a teacher can give a class inside the project. Result: working product, presented publicly on LinkedIn, with live demos for educators underway.
