EQUIPMENT things i use to record or create my sound that arent exactly instruments.
Mackie 1202 12 channel mixer
mackie 1202

thanks to one of the loveliest people ive had the pleasure of knowing, i now have a mixer. it helps tremendously with recoding and gives me a central location to adjust volumes and EQ without having to unplug things and use the windows sound mixer, which sucks.

AKG K240 headphones

these are definitely the nicest headphones ive ever had. they're HEAVY, and block out almost all sound when im wearing them. the sound quality through them is wonderful, i love em.

Shure SM57 professional mic

not too much to say about this little guy.. though i do wish that cat hair didnt stick to the foam mic cover so easily.

Lexicon MPX-100 digital effects processor

another gracious donation from the klingman foundation. the lexicon far exceeds the capabilities of my old effects processor and is of a general higher quality, with a lot more effects options.

Alesis NanoVerb digital effects processor

i no longer use this, as i recently collected a rack mount effects processor that creates less white noise.. though i may use it for guitar effects at some point. the vocal effects heard on Point of Origin were done with this effects processor.

Kurzweil MicroPiano

15 preset midi piano sounds, very rich and impressive sounding. what i really like about this coupled with my juno is that i can have both the synth and the mod plugged into the mixer att he same time, so i can play the same notes on both synth and piano for a deeper effect, like in Atonement.

Rocktron R5OC Rampage Amp

got built in chorus on the clean channel and a second channel for distortion. sounds SO much better than my old crate its just unreal, lots less line noise too. i picked it up with my new acoustic guitar.

Anya, my computer

without which none of my music would ever have been heard, she has recently been upgraded to 80 gigs and a 1.5ghz processor. Anya helps me to record, sample, edit, encode.. even keep the web site going.

INSTRUMENTS my instruments and equipment, and their uses.
Roland XP-30 Synthesizer

the new addition to my setup, the roland XP-30 only poses one problem to me: there are just too many sounds to sift through! The new track "Sepulture" utilizes this synth rather than the juno, which i seem to have out grown.

Roland Juno 106 Synthesizer
juno 106

my first synthesizer, and the creator of Altercations and Point of Origin. it opened musical doors for me that i never knew were there, and i am quite proud of the sounds and great pieces i have gotten out of it.

Fender Stratocaster

black mexican strat that whitey bought me for christmas of 99. it basically sits around collecting dust at this point, along with my three other guitars.

Hamer slammer series electric

my first electric. had it since i was 15. sunbrust. its ugly and wont hold a tune for shit but ill never get rid of it. my daddy bought it for me. :)

Hohner acoustic/electric guitar

a beautiful rosewood hand crafted guitar with an equally beautiful tone. the steel strings are a bit much for my fingers, now that i play so very little, but it is still a very nice guitar to have propped in the corner of my music room.

Nylon acoustic

spent a couple hundred bucks on it as an office guitar. it has now turned into the only guitar i play when i do, which is quite rarely.

Yamaha Acoustic Bass Guitar

i no longer have it, but i still really miss it a lot. so i figured i would mention it here. steel stringed.. big fat deep sound, too big for me really.. got it at a pawn shop for $75. been over a year since i gave it to a friend when i moved and couldnt take it with me.
