Wait what how'd I end up here? |

Hello all,
Guess I'll start with the obligatory introduction and take it from there. It's only natural I guess that I would end up here eventually. I've had a lifelong ebb and flow interest in muzak and electronics. Electronics would take me through life and to where I am today. Muzak not so much I'm a mediocre at best musican. But they kinda went together for the longest time not until my college days I finally gave up on muzak or so I thought. Would come back every few years tinker a bit with guitar effects or something along those lines and put it away again. One thing that was fairly consistent or at least as consistent as something inconsistent can be is I found myself search out Scott Stites site every couple of years. I used to work with him but it was during one of my musical low periods so the topic was never brought up. Would be years later and after I had gone in a different direction that I crossed internet paths with him I think at the time I was searching out VCO information totally unrelated to the topic at hand.
Fast forward to the current time and place or close to. About a year ago I was passed along to a Hammond L-100. Can't play it but tonewheel organs are just cool and I've been tinkering with it off and on. A recent visitor to my shop that was hunting for some parts saw it and we got to talking about muzak and electronics. And I got to demonstrate my ability to give it a voice but not make it sing, it looks like hell but does work 100%. The visitor as it turns out messes a bit with circuit bent and other synth related stuffs. So that's the short of it to date. My major synth experience has been 20+ years ago with a Paia 2700 modular that my uncle built and my father revamped. As for myself I am a degree'd electrical engineer, builder, terrible musican, and purveyor of fine electrical junque`. So if your looking for the strange obscure or just different parts and pieces I may have a few of them around. |
