Felix and Volcano! →
Considering that I produced their new Grow Rich EP, My official bump of Felix and Volcano! is way past due. Without further delay, here it is: Felix and Volcano! is a synth-pop outfit from Dover, New Hampshire, fronted by Sam Ueda (above, right) and a used Boss DR-202 Dr. Groove beat machine. Sam works the Dr. Groove like he wrote the software himself - as a synth junkie, I love it when people...

Boston Phoenix picks Revere Beach for Weekly... →
My face was in print media this morning. How pretty. Click the link to see Chris Faraone’s quick writeup of the song. This is sort of in the wrong order. Check the previous post for video of Quiet D Episode 24, and enjoy yourself.

Revere Beach
Click below for your summer jam: Revere Beach (Father Abraham RMX) Revere Beach (Father Abraham RMX Radio Edit) And for good measure, in case any of you North Shorers want to cut your own cheese: Revere Beach (Father Abraham RMX Instrumental) I did this piece for Quiet Desperation, an internet reality sitcom based in Allston and fronted by local public intellectual Rob Potylo. There is a...

Institutional Support
I was cleaning up and going through some old things in preparation for the move when I came upon these two documents: This first document represents the full institutional support that my alma mater offered to me after I made the decision that I wanted to pursue a career in music: Among the highlights of this brochure were consecutive page numbering and the snazzy purple cover that you see...

Ensoniq ASR-X Sampler/Synthesizer - $200 SOLD →
UPDATE 052810: Sold! And for only $180! Why did you wait so long? Why didn’t you make me an offer? Somehow I never thought it would come to this. I’m selling my Ensoniq ASR-X. LAME. But you can have it. COOL. [note: Tumblr isn’t into me posting pictures today, but here’s a look at the unit. Pic isn’t mine. I can provide a picture upon request.] This is a fantastic...

Casio DG-10 Digital Guitar - $150 →
UPDATE 060810: Price drop! Turns out someone modded the output section. There is no longer an instrument out. Just a line out. Please take into consideration. Otherwise, the unit is in great condition. All pickups work. The Super Synth Savings Spectacular continues. Apologies for the delay. Next up we have the Casio DG-10 Digital Guitar. DG stands for Digital Guitar, I gather, so the full name...

Roland MC-307 - $150 →
Another in my series of synths-for-sale-because-I’m-moving-to-New-Orleans: the Roland MC-307. I bought this piece in Texas over Christmas after I was done with 52pickup because I was so impressed with the work that Tuck Digz does using his Roland MC-505. Tuck is one of those guys who has developed a full skill set on one synth - the guy makes immaculate arrangements using just the 505...

Ensoniq SQ-80 - $300 - SOLD! →
UPDATE 051010: Sold to a nice gentleman from Providence. Happy to give this one a good home. It will come to news to a few of you that I am moving to New Orleans in the fall. I’m saving my long-winded explanation for another time, but restlessness, adventure, bounce rap, and a beautiful woman all are at play here. Anyway, I’m selling a few things to finance the move and streamline my...

Well, hello there
So this is my new blog place. It needs some work, but I think it makes sense to move here from 52pickup.us. I will do my best to keep content coming, so long as you do your best to keep visiting. More soon.
