Gear: Studio shots

Good stuff, Loren ! Nice setup.
What is the little blue/silver box on the right end of the Kurzweil ?

The remote for the Presonus Central Station, which I really need seeing that the main box is a whole 6 inches away from the remote.  ;D

I've been enjoying this topic for a while now, so I have to ask... who the hell is "Deb?"

[jkn]

Either:

a)  It's Jesse's wife / girlfriend (sorry, can't remember if you're married!)
b)  It's Jesse's other personality temporarily taking over his forum account

[mgriffin]

Yep, Jesse is married, so I guess that's his wife's name.  He always talks about "my wife" but I don't remember him ever telling me her name before.  Or maybe he has more than one wife... or a wife and several mistresses?

[jkn]

Good point ... let's change the poll...

a)  It's Jesse's wife
b)  It's Jesse's mistress
c)  It's Jesse's secret transvestite side (an "executive transvestite" I'm sure - see Eddie Izzard / Dressed to Kill)
d)  It's Jesse's other personality
e)  It's Jesse's other mistress

Hmmm - maybe I should be moderating myself?

[Numina]

It's none of the above... I was being silly... like "glamour shots by Deb"... think Napolean Dynamite... here's some examples: http://www.flickr.com/groups/glamourshots   ;D

Nah, I think Jesse's just trying to cover up the mistress !

two shots of studio gear.

First is what I started with in Dec 2005. Korg D16 was second hand and Keyboard borrowed from work.
Early stuff on Umbra and Penumbra recorded on this extensive set up.

Second is current studio, though it has been relocated to a smaller room as we moved to a smaller house in a smaller street after taking this photo. Veils, Shadows recorded on this set up.


addition at Christmas was this:-

Ok, so what is the silver box on top of your rack? It looks like a TC Electronics box but I can't figure it out. Also, what make are your speakers?

That looks like a TC M3000 to me.

It's great seeing everyone's set-up. I especially enjoy seeing how folks are using different furniture and other items to hold their gear.

I've noticed a lot of people in this thread (and in past "gear shot" type threads) - not everyone, but many people have a tendency towards indian, native american, aboriginal, african, etc... types of decorations - whether it's rugs, blankets, wall hangings or artwork, masks, etc...   Of course, quite a few drums tossed in as well which are both functional and ornamental... :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be basically an American sort of new age / native association thing ?
I don't see it in European studio shots.

[jkn]

You might have a good point.   Maybe it's more of an American (US) sort of thingy.

I also wonder if it's not really a new age type of thing - but a coincidental thing.   My wife and I have a lot asian influenced decoration in our house, but we're not really 'new agey' in the spiritual sense - and her like of it has nothing to do with the music side of things.

Well, there is a poster of Dean Martin on the opposite wall.

For the record the wall art in my studio consists of a sarong that was given to me as a gift for some performance I was in (can't remember which one now). A string of buddist prayer flags that a friend gave to me which I found wadded up in my closet last week so decided to put it to use. Two paintings I aquired in Bali, one of which was painted by a friend. A poster of a concert that Steve Roach and Robert Rich performed in Spain back in 1992 that Steve gave me. A concert poster of a gamelan performance I was in several years ago. And probably the most useless of them all, one MA degree in Ethnomusicology from some little known university called UCLA.  ;D

Then you can be excused, Loren.
Unless you also have a poster of Dean Martin on another wall !

Ohhh, be careful there, Anthony. You're treading on thin ice... ;D
