I had a corner desk setup for a long time, plus a badly organized Eurorack layout hidden in the giant flip top desk, but I had wood, tools, and LOTS of time so I rebuilt almost everything.

Much more functional now.

Some Details:

Mac Pro (Logic, MaxMSP, Unreal, Unity, Final Cut) is under the flat platform on the right. Gaming PC (Starcraft, Witcher, and other ‘very productive’ tools) is under drawers, lower left.

Eurorack is now two prop-up panels plus the very interface-oriented stuff loose one sitting on the desk.

Two mini 19" racks on the pedestals and a movable cabinet underneath.

The only incoming change is a 4k monitor that took forever to choose / locate given the current run on them caused by work-from-home.

That’s a Godin Montreal Premiere with Bigsby, so pretty similar. I didn’t come across any Guild SIII’s to try when I was shopping around, and the Godin just felt right, so…

Thanks to everyone for the super kind comments!

It has been a goal for a long time and I was very keen to pull something positive out of the current situation.

Our town has been relatively unaffected so far, and we are a university town so superb hospital, population is being reasonable, etc…

So I had this weird ‘It’s the end of the world and I feel bored and helpless’ vibe,… so woodworking!

Also, I have to say that there was a fair amount of envy going on when I saw great photos of great instruments and spaces here!

It’s a perfect weather for outdoor wood-working, but I’m afraid to go to the lumber stores. They are packed where I live. I’m one dowel short of being able to make the 22-string monochord I’ve been collecting parts for. I’m one piece of mahogany away from being able to make the electric cello I’ve been collecting parts for. I have everything I need to make my laser-cut mountain dulcimer, but the library is closed so I can’t do any laser-cutting. Very frustrated about these projects.

Thanks everyone for posting all these crazy inspiring sound setups!

Finally I have had time to organise my own small music studio, I have built a desk and shelves using leftover wood from other jobs around the house. The modular is my main focus at the moment, (there are 2 cases the small 6U one on the right is a portable unit without its main case that I will post more about in the portable modular thread) all sequenced by the A4 (although I have been enjoying bloom lots recently) and run into the DB4 along with the Octotrack and MEK and PER. Out of view to the right is an Apple iMac running Live 10 for recording anything of interest. The grey square to the left is an aluminium panel that I would normally use to paint on (I am mostly a painter ) but I have fitted it with a FeONIC F2 and contact mics which has led to lots of feedback fun through the Landscape Stereo Field and my modular.

That slab of aluminum with the contact mics seems intriguing. Any video or other examples how you use it?

#5594

has to be a plate reverb… (edit: it’s explained above but i think that’s what it does)

Yes I was a little unclear in my question/wish. I’m after how that exact slab of aluminum works as a resonator/plate reverb and in what kind of things it works, together with the modular and the Stereo Field. In short: would love some audio :slight_smile:

#5596

Could also simply be part of a hybrid microphone… eg if you put a contact mic on a gong and then make sound near the gong, it is like the gong becomes part of the microphone (Aphex Twin was first person I read of doing this, although I’m sure he wasn’t the first to try it)

With studio speakers pointed directly at it like that, it will be picking up & sympathetically resonating to whatever is being played or listened to…

Ah I didnt know what a “FeONIC F2” was… 100Hz – 20KHz driver for surfaces…

Will get some audio down asap, the aluminium panel its not a plate reverb , more just a resonant surface

The transducer is like a speaker without the paper coil. You put it on anything that vibrates and get a speaker. They’re very useful for making filters out of physical objects.
