It’s 1997. I’m a senior in high school. I’ve got my DAT recorder from the Good Guys and I’m plotting and scheming. The Roland MS-1 is no more and I’m learning how to use my newly acquired Ensoniq EPS. The internet was still pretty basic at that point, so you couldn’t exactly go online to learn things like you can now. I bought it used, so I didn’t have a manual for the EPS. It was a lot of trial and error. I am sure I picked up a few tips from Tape Mastah Steph and I probably learned some stuff from Adrian (Age), who I worked with at Rasputin’s.

Love this quote and find it to be so true. I've applied this approach with my photography and writing here on Substack. It's refreshing to have a place where no one is following you to try out new things.
Having a blast going through all your stories about music and life in the early 90's. Can't wait to read more!
