I thought you mike like to see my updated vintage experimental electronic music studio setup- my copy of an early electronic music studio 1950-1970-ish.

There's a tape editing bench for musique concrete with various variable speed tape machines, a wall for jamming with electronically generated sounds from old test equipment and filters, and a cosy oscillator corner for pure sine and square tones connected to a separate mixer. I compose without a computer, by cutting up tiny pieces of tape.

Any questions about the gear or processes I use - please ask! PS I appreciate this looks like AI slop at first glance, but it's real. My terrible phone camera doesn't help.

I have more photos and videos of the gear and techniques here: [https://www.instagram.com/harder.than.concrete]

My happy place.

Have always thought it a bit cheesy posting photos online but after a spliff one night I took this photo. And thought why not. Not the neatest it's been but is good for my standards.

I'm 50+ years old and if someone asks, I always say I'm a Sound Artist instead of musician (although I make a living in another profession). Started off in the nascent acid house/techno/hardcore scenes in Australia. Before the internet we could only guess how producers overseas were making music. Listening to the likes of Aphex Twin made me question that maybe there is a god, So to this day I'm still trying to reach that level of elusiveness. Be it making grooves inspired from that time, along with making sound art/collage/musique concrete.

The Jupiter 6 was my first ever proper synth (paid AU$450 in 1989) and I know it completely inside out . The Moog One is complete overkill and unnecessary for my purposes, purely a GAS purchase. Although it's a joy and privilege to own. Vermona is a new addition on the desk. The Big 6 mixer is a definite keeper, very versatile and sounds wonderful. I could afford at my age to splurge on high end monitors, but my 30+ year old Mackies sound fine to me and again, over time gotten to know/trust them well.

If anyone looks upon these kind of pics with envy, I would too I'f I was in the acquiring stage , but seriously without exception my best results are always coming from keeping things simple (GAS is really your enemy) and being in the moment with ANY object that makes sound, no matter how cheap or expensive the sound is, is what's most important.

To be honest, I really need to motivate myself to go out of the box these days, my other more frequently used and far more practical studio is a laptop and headphones.

Cheers

My humble home studio for noisy sound !

Here is the studio today. Planning to post all the work in progress photos and videos.

Just wanted to share my little studio. I moved about half a year ago and slowly shaped this room into a space that feels truly comfortable and inspiring. I’ve focused on keeping it minimal, with only the essentials that really matter to me. It’s not just a studio, but also a place to jam and relax, there are two couches (not visible in the pictures) that make it great for hanging out as well.

Here’s the current setup:
- Sessiondesk Gustav
- Neural DSP Quad Cortex
- Adam A7X monitors
- Adam Sub DV3
- MacBook Pro

In my old place I had way too much gear and combined music and work in one space, which really killed my creativity. This setup may be simple, but it works so much better for me.

Our ssl room!

I love this room

Turning our free state backed practice room into a studio.
