Looks lovely, love your neon green norns shield case too. Any closeups of that?

Thanks! You mean the neon green enclosure? I can totally make a closeup. It’s @infovore’s quick&easy enclosure cut out from neon green plexy (you can find the source here: GitHub - infovore/norns-diy-panels: Lasercut top/bottom panels for DIY monome norns instruments.)

o nice! and yes, that’s what I meant, whoops

assemblage of the elements in my tiny mountain quarantine studio

heading back to my tiny home studio corner tonight with my tiny home studio girlfriend

going from guitar to synth, I’m continually shook that ~80% of my equipment can fit in a backpack or medium sized peli case

My studio is a bedroom office crammed with decades of accumulated stuff, so it doesn’t qualify as tiny exactly. It’s become quite annoying and dysfunctional, so I tore it all apart and am trying to come up with a more workable configuration.
In the mean time, I have put together Tiny Synth Tracking Corner so I can still do some recording and play with my newly built DIY 500 series front end.

how have you mounted the synth to the board?

@jlmitch5 here’s a close-up of the norns enclosure!

Looks really cool! 20char

A couple of IKEA Skådis hooks, which happened to be almost exactly the right size. As is visible below, I’ve since given the synth support from below using an old dishwasher cutlery basket (which too happened by good fortune to be just about perfectly sized). So thankfully it no longer wobbles and is safe from collapse.

I knew I’d find a new purpose for that basket eventually.

While working on a much more elaborate electronic composition (adjacent right), I set up a simple station with acoustic guitar, a bow, timeline delay, a mixer, an sm57, and a tascam portastudio. Started with simple drone-folk stuff but it’s becoming more elaborate as things are wont to do when there are vocals and synths around :slight_smile:

My situation is that my gear lives in a closet in a shared office with my partner. I made this “altar” recently to hold some things on the ground. I move the instruments over to my “recording” rack, underneath a desk, and work on the floor with specific instruments that I am recording/manipulating. So far it feels good! It has “children’s-play-area” vibes, where it’s all set up and then cleaned at the end of the session.

Very clean! What model 19 inch rack is that? I’ve been looking for something similar for my stuff rather than just being in a pile on the floor haha

Thanks! Its this one from Hosa. I like it, but don’t love it. It’s angle is not great for under a desk. But it was the cheapest I could find, as I don’t have the tools/space to make one.

The double Phonogene! I’ve always wanted to do that… sadly, due to rent reasons, I went from 1 Phonogene to 0, which is the wrong direction entirely.

Aw oh no! Yeah, it had crossed my mind several times… finally it came together. Hopefully one comes into your life again soon.
