work it harder, make it better, do it faster make us stronger more Than ever hour after
our work Is never over..
I love this keyboard :-) not only does it make an awesome sound, it is also photogenic. Here I have desaturated and darkened the background - this was due to my bed sheets being annoyingly too bright purple. It made the day look more overcast, which I like; I like the idea of sitting around inside making music on a rainy day.
I also increased the brightness and contrast, and desaturated the keys. This was due to the light of my room casting a golden sort of glow on them, which didn't suit the picture.
It's the picture I took for our band, audioFILM, and also the cover of our very new EP called Analog. You can listen here : audiofilm.bandcamp.com

This is my studio in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Five minute exposure on bulb setting, F8 cloudy setting (Holgamods); used a blue LED flashlight on the music stand, the lamp, and under the keyboards. A shot of flash at myself sitting at the keyboard at the end and then I fired the flash again off camera by mistake. You can see a ghost image of me sitting at the keyboard. You can also see my hand holding the flashlight in the lamp. I shot this to finish off a roll I wanted to develop and didn't think anything of it. Those pictures always seem to come out the best for me.

This is my tiny bedroom studio. I don't have much in the way of hardware. Living in this small apartment I'm lucky that my wife lets this much gear in the bedroom at all.
here's the latest incarnation of my home studio. sonar 7 running on a quad-core intel box with a pulsar scope ii card.. with a whole ton of keyboards (the sh-101 is still my favorite, of course) and my basses. i'm still trying to figure out how to get the akai working with sonar, but i'm sure it won't take too much longer (i hope)
Per l'ottavo episodio in cucina, Denise, accompagnata dal chitarrista e co-arrangiatore dei brani Alessandro Di Liegro, parla di sé davanti ad un tavolo e una sedia giganti in mezzo a un prato, neanche fossimo in una favola, e suona alcuni brani del suo primo lavoro, ri-arrangiati per pianoforte, microKorg, stylophon, chitarra e voce.
Geir Jenssen performing live as Biosphere. Looks like he's got a Powerbook and a Microkorg. Anyone want to take a stab at identifying that MIDI controller?

My brand new MicroKorg XL!!! At some point in the future, this will be popping up in the audio of videos. :)
It occurred to me that I had a lot of technology on this table.
iPad 2 (borrowed from a friend) with Algoriddim's "djay" app. Numark iDJ Live MIDI/iOS controller. X-Arcade USB keyboard controller. Korg MicroKorg synth. MPC 2500 sampler / sequencer / drum machine.
I needed better icons for the Audio/MIDI tool in OS X (the included ones are too generic) so I made pixel versions of my equipment. Not everything is to scale and there are a few omissions but I'm happy with the end result.
Rearranged my studio so the keyboards are on my left when my right hand is on the mouse. Still hoping to get thick carpet in and an Oberheim OB-8! Note, this is a tiny room (about 11 x 11) but looks bigger because the pic was taken with a very wide angle lens (Sigma 10-20).

Clavia Nord Lead 2 and Alesis QS 6.1 synthesizers in Heavenside Labs Studio 2, 2004.
The alesis is one of those standard boards you find in a studio. It has all the right sounds- none of them perfect, but all of them close enough for good music. I like them because the operating system is easy to scroll about in, and the sound banks contain the kind of stuff I need- good pianos, organs, and rhodes... decent synths, decent pads, decent string and weird sounds, good percussion. Of course, I thought this until I heard a Yamaha Motif for the first time and changed my pants (after seeign the price tag that is).
The Nord Lead is an analog synth for the Bob Moogs and Keith Emmerson's out there. There is no effects unit, and no special modern features like a 1000 preset smart arpeggiator or a KAOS pad. This is pure analog, or pure analog modeling as it were... just oscillators and sound generators, how all modern virtual analogs should be. The Nord Lead, unlike, say a Microkorg or Virus Indigo, is really meant for a pianist who plays synthesizer, not a DJ who uses VST's in an industrial or techno band. I'm of course not trying to insult DJ's or techno artists, it just seems that many people have a Nord in their arsenal just to say they have it, without really utelizing the beautiful sounds that one can generate with a bit of tweaking.
I've owned about 2 dozen synths in the past decade, ranging from old digitals Casio CZ3000's and Ensoniq ESQ1's up to more modern stuff like roland JP8000 and Korg Trinity, and old analogs like MonoPoly, Micromoog, Polysix, and then some. I prefer the simple stuff, like the Juno 6/60/106 and the Korg MonoPoly/Polysix, where the waveform creation is ovbious and well laid-out. All this scrolling through menus and setting up presets that you need to do onboard the computer OS in a Fantom or Triton is just frustrating to me. I was raised on a Fender Rhodes.
My favorite synth of all time is the Juno 106. My favorite device with an AC plug and piano keys is the 76 Fender Rhodes.
My new old microKORG. I don't know why anyone accepts the new XL design and it's lack of knobs. I love the tactile feeling of the original microKORG keyboard with all the dials and buttons. It sounds amazing and the keys are not too small, they're just right for me.
