Keyboards, mainly synths, very badly, in the manner of Brian Eno.
Not a bad drummer but have no kit.

Synths here...
Korg Trinity
Juno 6
Korg M1
Korg Prophecy
Roland R5 Drum Machine
Casio FZ10M Sampler
Various PC based tools (Reason, Rebirth, etc)
Mostly used for bumming around these days and writing for pleasure (instead of writing as part of forced labour to a bad with a stupid and restrictive music contract, and I hated writing 90's "Dance Music" anyway)
I use the following for inspiration....
Nitzer Ebb
VNV Nation
Diary of Dreams
The Shizit - Now defunct because all their gigs ended in mass damage to the venues...one theatre was ripped to pieces brick by brick by the crowd. Moshing at their gigs was extreme..round house kicks the works...I've never seen a crowd so pumped before or since. Incredible the power of music...Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Actually I meant Korg Trinity (the one with the Prophecy board built-in) not the Triton, which I had briefly in rack form, but sold it on.Originally posted by Board Game Geek View Post
I sometimes think I'd like to replace it all with virtual instruments on a macbook, but then sometimes there's nothing better than just thrashing the keys and twiddling all the knobs.
I learned to (almost) play on a Roland Juno 6 - that and an old upright joanna
Quite keen on algorithmic/generative and systems music. See - it's that tosser Eno again

I once went to a lecture given by Brian Eno.
He told us that the wheels of industry and western civilisation would come to a halt if we stopped consuming aluminum in its various forms including foil.
bonkers I thought.
Another lecture was from the former Arts minister Kin Howels - he gave us an account of when he was a student in the 70's, he walked into the food market of Fortnum & Mason with a top hat on containing 200 white mice, doff'd his hat to the consierge and spilled the flock of mouses about the place.
Pandemonium ensued.
After they were chased out of the place, he joined his group to smash up paintings outside on the street.
A splendid piece of situationist mentalism - which I think is great - the kids/student these days are pretty tulip - just hide behind their rigid exterior.Comment
