Session Descriptions:

Frederick Robin graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in composition from Concordia College in 2024 and is the founder of Studio FSR, an innovative olfacto-musical lifestyle label established in 2016. Robin serves as the strategic director for Studio FSR, orchestrating the company’s creative direction and strategic vision.

Studio FSR evolved from its origins as a sensitive skin care soap company to a trailblazer in olfacto-musical concepts. Studio FSR creates revolutionary olfacto-musical goods that capture the emotional power of haute parfumerie and new music to intensify human connection. Studio FSR actively participates in regional and national events, workshops, and festivals and has more than 120 collaborative partnerships spanning hospitality, restaurant, and retail sectors nationwide.

In this session, Robin will describe the process Studio FSR uses to develop new products and find product-market fit with their olfacto-musical Composed Candles. Participants will then engage in a workshop to create a candle that includes a microchip connected to an AI music generation website, enabling students to create olfacto-musical products similar to Studio FSR.
