GEAR

Here is a rather comprehensive list of the tools I use to make noise, and that I have collected over the years. From software plugins to analogue synthesizers, from master keyboards to mixers and headphones. As you can see, sometimes GAS has the better of me. Sooner or later, I will perhaps also post some pictures of my super messy 'Studio'. Burglars, take notes ;)
