Lacking a headphone at the moment, I went to a Dutch audio store (Expert) yesterday to buy myself a professional headphone. I’ve had much pleasure with Sennheiser products in the past, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I narrowed down my wishlist in 10minutes to Sennheiser! Still … they had about 8 different […]
A dream coming true: yesterday evening I bought myself the Yamaha MO8 synthesizer including synth rack and damper pedal. First impression (after seeing so many demo’s, pictures, reviews): WOW! Awesome! I’ve got it! YES! Had to trash my computerdesk to be able to get in into my room. An easy sacrifice! To my great […]

While this synthesizer module was basically made for studio musicians, a lot of game manufacturers (especially LucasArts en Sierra) composed some great music. […]
To stay focussed on my goals, everyonce in a while I need a reminder of how awesome things will be in the near future. Earlier I covered almost every detail of the Yamaha MO6, but for a small price increase I could also opt for the Yamaha MO8 (with 88-hamer weighted keys). Anyway, to dig further into […]
