From jamming with Prince to Insta fame. The singularity – MonoNeon.

Behind a tiny white desk over the weekend while doing some live recording with the cats at JMI – Jazz Music Institute. They knocked over some parts for a ‘real instruments’ revamp of the Brisbane Lions club song. Watch this space!

Portable setup … activate!

Some Wurli on some stuff!

No, it’s not 1990, 2010 or 2015 … it’s May 2025.

If you want your music to succeed – get an advertising company to relentlessly deliver it into people’s ears and you will still be topping charts decades later.

Good luck new artists!

Tone and vibe for days with the Wurli. Have enjoyed spending time with this guy – just the two of us.

Knocked over an acoustic pop track today for a solo artist remotely … huge sounds!

Ready for action – the Wurlitzer 200A. This thing makes me play in a completely unique way … I look for notes and phrasing I just don’t go for on other instruments!

One of the greatest analog synths around – the rack-mounted Roland Super Jupiter (MKS-80) is hooked up and ready for use.

It was an incredible challenge getting this beast to work … there was a lot wrong with it, but I persevered and I’m really proud of myself for diagnosing all the issues and solving them.

Get in touch if you need music made and we can use this gem!

Replaced the PSU inside the Yamaha KX88 keyboard this evening with the Mean Well PT-65C.

I absolutely love the feeling of the keys on this beast from the 80s and now it’ll last another 40 years. No modern weighted keyboard I’ve tried is anywhere near as good!

A huge thanks to @lixcreative for her superior dexterity and help getting it all installed. ❤️

Two kings of 80s synthesis – the Yamaha DX7 II FD and the Roland D50. I’m definitely more of a Roland synth cat, but the DX7 has been on some seriously iconic tunes! Both incredibly complex with infinite sound generation potential.

Hopefully replacing a couple of CEM3340 chips (all the way from Portugal) on the lower module board of this beast will bring it back to life. One of the great analog synths – the Roland Super Jupiter / MKS-80.

Vintage Roland synth resuscitation. Might have to special order some chips for this guy … but it will be worth it.

Confusion ensues when your client uses a photo of your own studio space as their background in the video collab session.

Kind of reggae jam thing from Tokyo 2023 with @geshige on bass and @toshi_kasuga on the kit. Can’t wait to catch these cool cats again.

Warwick and Wurli. The Warwick 5 string is a relatively new addition (a few years maybe) and is equal parts funky and heavy. The Wurli in the background is a newer one … it has a story that I’ll tell soon!

Complete overhaul of the circuits in the vintage Wurlitzer 200A. Will probably make a video with this very special unit once I’ve got it sorted. Glorious tones from one of the greatest electric pianos ever made.

The Sennheiser 441 – the best dynamic mic ever made … sounds good on … everything!

Finally solved a power supply issue in some of my preamps that caused them to turn off after a little while. Back into the rack with a new part and bigger heatsink!

Replacing some ICs in an old synth’s midi board … hopefully I can breathe some new life into it!
