Attention fellow Gearheads: The Studio at the moment
// April 30th, 2012 // No Comments » // Blog, Music, Updates
The truth is that music making toys hold a powerful 
allure over many of us musicians. While I have managed to relax my addictive state of mind some over the years, I remain fascinated with noise making devices, the software, and audio hardware that are the paint, canvas, and brushes of my work.
Here is my current setup:
Computers:
Apple Power Mac 8 core with UAD Quad DSP card
Mac Powerbook with dual Intel processors.
Hardware synths:
Oberheim Matrix 12, Yamaha FS1R, Waldorf Blofeld, Access Virus Snow.
and my new passion, analog modular – Eurorack format.
Outboard equipment:
api 3124 mic-pre/mixer
Avalon VT-747SP Stereo compressor/eq
Aphex 109 tube eq
Eventide Orville
Lexicon PCM 80
Main software:
Logic 9, Abelton Live 8, Reason 6, Melodyne, Sibelius, Metasynth, Izotope, UAD plugins,
Arturia virtual synths (Moog Modular, Arp 2600, Roland Jupiter 8), and more!
Piano: Kawai K-8 52 inch upright
Guitars: Breedlove acoustic and Schecter electrics.
Newest addition: a rare 4 reed Bina harmonium.
Yes indeed! Inquiring minds want to know what is the Olympia Academy, who belongs to this rarefied bastion of thought, and can I join? No you can’t join, but listen to the podcast and learn something new about the young Einstein.
