About Me


Education
September 2023 - Present
Diploma in Acoustic and Noise Control 2023/24
Building Acoustic and Noise and Vibration Control Engineering Specialist
Institue of Acoustics (Dublin Lab School)





September 2022 - September 2023
Postgraduate Music, Composition and Sound Technology
Major in Audio Engineering
School of Creative Arts, University of Hertfordshire

The lecturing is mainly aimed at developing individual interests within the area of assessment. The assessments of the course contain multiple fields of the profession such as studio and acoustic design, advanced recording techniques, hardware and software processing, etc. I have an interest in the technical aspect of the topic such as studio structure and sound isolation design, hardware signal flow, or software audio processing.

Study on acoustic prediction and simulation software such as I Simpa, INSUL, or ODEON is the main interest for my final major project. I found myself enjoying sunken-deep research about the field of acoustic. Therefore, the passion I have for acoustic and noise control highly motivated me to start my career path as an acoustic consultant.

Module Examples
    -    Audio Engineering
    -    Studio Technologies, Processes and Practices
    -    Audio Production and Design



July 2018 - July 2022
Bachelor of Engineering
Major in NANO Engineering: Advance material
Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University

The course mainly develops a critical analysis of physics, chemistry, and biology since nanotechnology required a wide range of knowledge. The advanced material course focused on the material characteristics at the molecular level and application in electronic field. The challenge of the course is to find an application of the knowledge on the individual interest, music technologies in this case,

Critical thinking and analysis were developed through essential modules of the engineering course. The application of material characteristics on acoustic and noise control is challenging, however, interesting.

Module Examples
    -    Mechanical behavior of Materials
    -    Physical Metallurgy
    -    Nanostructures and Crystalline Defects

Research and Developer Internship at ARC Custom
(ASTRON INNOVATION CO., LTD.)


Custom In-Ear Monitors (CIEMs) are the main product that I have researched and developed during my internship in ARC Custom. The development is based on experimental on multiple setups which include the acoustic and electronic aspects. The CIEMs with 4 and 6 drivers were the product that I was assigned to develop. This product includes electronic components such as a resistor and transistor for the circuit and acoustic filter. The result was taken by measuring the frequency response, phase difference, and listening test.

Alongside the R&D part, I have a chance to work in multiple positions in the company since the size of the company was still small at that time. Marketing and product design was one of them. It focused on developing new products according to the research on the market ocean and target group.

Getting to know me more


Hi, I’m Kintaro a 23 years old Acoustic Engineer, Mix and Mastering Engineer, and Bassist from Thailand. This portfolio is the collection of my journey through the realm called ‘music’. Even though what you see in this collection started a few years ago, my journey begin long before. From a young age, I was forced to learn piano as usual for all Asian families. At that time, I hate music. But yeah, a kid is a kid. As I’m growing up, my passion for music started to develop. From a trombonist in a high school marching band, started playing bass just for fun, to a bassist in a university big band.

Music always be my hobby since I found joy and peace in it. From high schooler to a bachelor’s degree engineering student, the seriousness of music began to affect many parts of my life. It is challenging to maintain the pace of studying along with the activities that I enjoy like music. However, as time goes by, I started to adapt and manage my time wisely and I end up being addicted to music, unconsciously. I realize that I cannot live without music. More precisely, I needed music to continue living. So, my journey for this career path begins.

After I spend a year in a music technology course for my master’s degree, I found out that I love making music but do not have confidence in it. I enjoy mixing, producing, or performing music, but as time goes by, I don’t feel like my confidence is building up along with my skill. However, my passion and confidence in acoustic analysis and noise control started to grow. This is the beginning of my new journey of building my career path as an acoustic consultant.
