That was Andy’s reaction to the comment “Anyone could make that music with that equipment”.

To state the obvious: you need some sort of instrument to create music, but that instrument does not make the music for you.

Composing is a different skill than playing an instrument. Production of music is yet another skill, as is mixing and mastering. And singing. And writing lyrics.

Regardless of which and how much of those skills I possess, I found myself making music using synthesisers. Machines have come and gone, some have been great instruments but not right for me, and some I’ve kept on using since I got them. Below I will list all relevant synths and other instruments and devices I have used over the years.

Lately my Eurorack modular has grown totally out of proportion, and I will not be listing the individual models here.
