My studio used to consist of lots of boxes and wires and flashing lights and dials and all things that light up.

Now it’s a computer – mainly software and a piano permanently setup to for recording. The pictures below represent the sum total of my studio these days.

The Bosendorfer, a recent edition is the nerve-centre these days rather than the computer. I’ve been playing a lot more piano recently and I intend to do some composition for large scale ensembles which will have a technology component to them.
