gear

acoustic gear

i play a conn 2b trombone. the serial number says it should have been made around 1923. (disney lost my conn 3h in 1992) my mouthpiece is a marcinkiewicz copy of an old bach mount vernon 12C that lloyd ulyate gave me.

digital gear

macbookpro

2.2 GHz/4GB  (ableton live/protools LE)

korg kaossillator

pretty useful in live gigs, if you spend the time learning how to ‘play’ this little box it has a lot of potential)

iphone

the touch screen has made this the most exciting controller i own. i’m not quite ready to start performing with it yet, but the implications of the touch interface are amazing! here is just a list of a few of the apps i’m excited about:

controller apps

b. machine

bloom-generative

synth pond

sound scope video theremin

sound scope granular synthesizer

soniclife

melodica

pakisound

tone matrix

tripper

jasuto

midi controller apps (itm keys, itm pad, itm mcu, itm matrix)

osc controller apps (touch osc)

eliss (controller based music game)

korg nanopad

great piece of gear for controllerism ftw!

korg nanokontrol

haven’t used it a live show and still debating if it can be useful

korg nanokey

its good for writing and transcribing music, its keys are a little unpredictable and small so i’m not ready to use it in a live show

M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2

bus powered is a must for live gig but its a little big for my current setup

amps

fender deville 4×10

yamaha stage amp

vox da5 (battery powered portable)

recording/mixing

protools digi 002 (for recording and mixing)

got this used on ebay for 1/2 the original price. still going strong

motu ultralite

firewire, bus powered and portable is a must for live gigs. i started with the protool mbox line (mbox 2 and mbox mini) but the USB was flaky and i couldn’t count on it in a live show.

vintech audio dual 72

2 channel neve copy. great way to get a lot of bang for your buck

shure sm57 dynamic mic pair

standard guitar amp mic

studio projects C3 condenser mic

not a great mic, but sounds good with the clarinet

rode nt-5 small diaphragm condenser mic pair

great stereo recording for vibes and room presence mics

cascade fathead ribbon mic

has become my main tbone mic

mackie HR824 monitors

clean and nothing extra in the mix, got these half price on craigslist!

glyph firewire drives

i have two that are still going strong. my original 100GB drive from 2002 is still alive!
