1964-2007

my first tape recorder, about 1965, a Webcor.

I played guitar in a few bands 1965- 68, with a blue Mosrite guitar and a Fender Pro amp (mine was black).

I got a Sony 660 stereo tape recorder in 1969, which I used for various experiments.

While at Juilliard I started studying privately at an electronic music studio at NYU, based around a Buchla 100 modular synthesizer.

Rhodes 73 stage piano, one of the keyboards I collected around 1980 for a multi-keyboard ensemble.

The Mountain Computer Music System, a wavetable synthesizer than runs in two slots in an Apple II.

Passport Designs' Soundchaser combined the MCMS with a monophonic keyboard controller and software. It was popular in Japan but made obsolete by MIDI.

Wurlitzer 200 electric piano, another keyboard for the ensemble
