Here is a glimpse of my creative space. I like to call it my laboratory. This lab is my sanctuary where I can go to alleviate life's pressures. I've compiled gear and equipment for almost 10 years now, and I start to question their importance. Is a specific piece of gear relevant to my creativity? Or is it truly me?
Here is a list of the equipment in this picture:
Yamaha Mt120 4-track Cassette Recorder (bottom of image)
Stanton turntable
Pioneer Dual Cassette Player (Left side of image)
Mackie 12 channel Mixer (on top of Cassette player)
Studio Monitor Speakers
Mbox Pro (on top of speakers)
Akai MPC 1000 modded (center of table)
Roland Sp404sx (left of akai MPC)
Novation Bass station 2 (Right of the MPC)
These pieces of equipment are only tools and resources to help get my sound out. The gear is nothing. It is the person behind the gear. It is the ears and thought process within the person. I believe that the only instrument a person needs to possess is a soul. The studio equipment and latest technology does not create without the power of will and creative frequencies. Stay tuned for more.
Is it the Man or is it the Machine?
