The Sonic Arts Assembly presents Sequencing in Motion - a workshop, demonstration, and live performance with Manuel Vázquez - founder of OXI Instruments on October 10, 2026.
Step inside the world of live electronic music with Manuel Vázquez, founder of OXI Instruments and creator of the acclaimed OXI One sequencer, for an afternoon exploring the intersection of technology, sound, and creative expression.
Through a hands-on workshop, live demonstration, and performance, Vázquez will share the possibilities of hardware-driven music-making, revealing how sequencing, modular synthesis, and real-time improvisation can transform musical ideas into immersive sonic experiences.
As Occipital, his live electronic project, Vázquez steps beyond the engineering desk and into performance, blending hypnotic rhythms, evolving textures, and driving grooves across the worlds of techno, experimental electronics, and deep house. His approach bridges the precision of instrument design with the spontaneity of live creation, offering an intimate look at the tools and techniques shaping contemporary electronic music.
Whether you're an electronic music enthusiast, aspiring producer, seasoned musician, or simply curious about the creative possibilities of sound technology, Sequencing in Motion invites you to experience electronic music not just as something to hear, but as something to build, shape, and perform.

Jason Umino
Known professionally as Wunderfish, Jason is a Honolulu-based electronic musician, live improviser, and creative technologist whose work connects performance, innovation, and community. Trained in Ableton Live at Dubspot NYC, he creates immersive real-time performances using hardware synthesizers, virtual instruments, and hybrid systems—blending ambient, acid house, synth-pop, and experimental electronica into dynamic sonic journeys.
The Wunderfish project launched in 2014, and has resulted in multiple albums, independent film scores, and live performances at home and abroad. Wunderfish music is arranged in fairy tale format and his music has been described as "retro-futuristic electronica - dark and haunting with a backdrop of optimistic soundscapes."
He maintains an ongoing residency at Plantoem in Kaimukī, where he performs improvised ambient sets inspired by plant frequencies, and also performs his more club-forward material regularly at special events (e.g., Club Kink, Sofar Sounds). Jason also live streams his improvisational synth sessions every weekday on YouTube where he opens up his studio virtually to a diverse audience.
Jason is a partner at Street Cinema LLC, further extending his creative work into film and visual storytelling.
