Photo of my Moog Liberation synthesizer in a flight case, with improvised arrangement of internal padding that includes velcro panels and partitions as well as my own clothing, socks, and underwear 💪

Q: how do you secure a heavy fragile irregularly-shaped 2-component synth in a roomy flight case meant for non-abnormal keyboards?

A: with ~5 late-night sessions of rearranging velcro pads & partitions; + enlisting the help of strategically placed socks & underwear. 🧦💪

See you soon Orlando! 🎹✈️

Synthology, by Damage 12 track album

𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺, the 1986 debut LP by Damage (@damage-band.bsky.social), unavailable for decades, now available on Bandcamp.

“Fusing the raw energy of hardcore punk with the unrelenting pulse of analog synthesizers and live drums, Damage carved out a distinct sound that defied genre conventions.”

Press photo of the band Damage. Photo depicts three people, the two in the foreground holding analog synthesizers.

Excited to say I've joined the band Damage (@damage-band.bsky.social ), a live-synths live-drums hardcore punk act formed in the early ’80s.

They’ve reformed, enlisted me, are releasing a new LP, & we're gearing up for live gigs. 1st one's May 10 @ Will's Pub in Orlando. More to come.

in seriousness, don't want to say too much yet. Early days. Synths are involved. Guess I'd better learn how to play one.
