Topic: Building a Synthesizer
Well, it's been a while since my last post...I guess I'm just destined to be intermittent with this thing. Actually the blog hasn't been working. I'm gonna fix it.

My Synthesizers.com system first consisted of a cabinet, power stuff, and a Q116 Ring Modulator. Then there was the Q106 VCO, which was a birthday present from my friends Kathy and Chris, and then the Q108 Amplifier.

Fast forward. Now it consists of the aforementioned stuff, plus a Q104 MIDI interface and a Q109 Envelope Generator. So yes, I can actally make music with it now. Well, at least I can make chromatically pitched tones...but my Moogerfooger CP-251 does a lot of things that make it more musical. I like to use the LFO to do PWM.
There are so many more modules that are in the mail, or at least in queue to be in the mail...
More to come.

Also, my other new toy is the grand and glorious Roland Space Echo. It goes on every recording now.
Bye...

Topic: Reason for Being
Well, here I am again, living in cyberspace. Or at least hanging out here. It's been a few years since I've done any kind of website stuff, so it may take me a while to get back up to speed. I thought I'd start some sort of blog-type thing first, to sort of ease into it.
So why am I here? Well, I would like to use this website to share insights on my recording/writing/sound experiment endeavors as they happen, as well as offering detailed track notes and/or lyrics to my available albums. I'd also like to share some music that will probably never see album release for one reason or another.
Hopefully I'll be keeping this thing up to date so it doesn't just float out to cyber-sea like my last site did five years ago...sta tuned.
