Well, my monitor stands arrived today so I could finally finish the set-up in the new synth cave. Of course, stupid Yorkville doesn’t include instructions. Fortunately I’ve assembled enough IKEA shit in my life that I have a feel for it, but it was a little odd to have six […]
In the Synth Cave

I should call these bi-weekly updates, I always seem to forget one week and post the next. Phew! Got one of my two cover submissions in to COMA Music Magazine, and with 2 weeks to go before the deadline. That was my new wave cover, “Lie to Me” by Depeche […]
Popped downstairs today to take some measurements of what I hope will become Synth Cave 3.0 this fall. So far it’s still full of props etc. from the theatre company that used to have the space, but that’s all being rearranged into other areas of the building, so imagine it […]

So last night as I was leaving the synth cave at about 3am, I had a wad of Kleenex with some orange peels in it to toss in the garbage in the common kitchenette for the jam spaces. No one’s around so I lobbed it into the can from about […]
It started with a drive to revamp the synth cave a bit. I had a couple IKEA chairs in the corner that were really too big for the space [yeah, who knew IKEA could make anything too big?], took those apart and took them home and replaced them with a […]
Note to self: you do not need the boxes, just the toys that were once in them. Spring cleaning has come to the synth cave.
