Awesome photos, do you still make music at all? I have an OP-1 that I fiddle around on still from time to time but don’t spend much time making beats anymore.
Being at university in the late 1960s and early 1970s was my introduction into the beginnings of this world. An older student who had worked in record store offered an informed education about artists and bands, turntables and stereo systems, and the care and handling of LPs. A later roommate linked all of our electronics systems together for LPs, cassettes, and radio (no CDs yet) and kept a CB radio at his desk on which we would listen to truckers and other CBers while he explained the role of the FCC (aka Friendly Channel Checkers) in monitoring the behaviors of different folk on the radio.

I stopped making music about 30 years ago, but I still love listening to it.

In the analog era, everything took a lot more effort than it does now, but it was also more fun and I feel like everything was a richer experience.
I'm curious about what type of music you played and listened to. Thank you for documenting your studio.
I loved FUNK and my friend who was making music with me loved ROCK, so we were trying to make music that combined those two things.
Your musical journey is told your photos of your music studio!
In hindsight, the place was very chaotic, but to me it was paradise.
What changed from then to now?
That's a really difficult question for me to answer, but I can say for sure that most of the music equipment has disappeared from around me.
I hope that the change in direction has had other positive effects on your life.
Thank you. A lot has happened since then, and now I'm here as a photographer.
Quite many musicians are also photographers. Or percussion in my case lol. You were very involved looks like, with several instruments.
Wow, you're a percussionist? That's great!
