Equipment used:

MK 4902 MIDI Controller. P4 MSI CPU. Behringer UB1832FX -PRO board, Theremin, Customized 1984 Ibanez Roadstar Guitar, Ibanez ICX120 guitar, Reason 2.5, Acid 4.0, Sound Forge 6.0, Apex 410 large diaphragm mike. .

Anything else...?

I started the old fashioned way with tape loops and modified electronic gear, and later moved into commercially produced synthesizers. My current CD,'The Perfect City' is an exploration of the 50s and 60s passion for the future, and in particular, the city of the future, with hoverports, magnetic highways, moving sidewalks etc.
