Back in the time when I had more time, I used to make music. I've gone through a few keyboards and MIDI controllers ranging from a Yamaha Clavanova with the old school MIDI ports to a hammer action M-Audio controller with bad hammer action to an M-Audio controller not even pretending to have hammers to what I have now, which is a Kawai MP5 stage piano, probably the best gear I had.
M-Audio served me well in the past. My cheapo MIDI controller and a pair of M-Audio monitors actually made the trip from Toronto to London to Lungi airport and then, on a really dangerous Soviet helicopter, to Freetown. I've now got a pair of Yamaha monitors.
Computer wise, I've moved up a few levels but my Vaio could use an update.
Despite wanting more and better equipment and software, I was nevertheless able to turn out some solid efforts in not-always-easy conditions using computers with old (single core!!!) chips.
This is a remix of Hayley Westerna's Prayer. It's a pretty minimalist affair with a few extra strings, some percussion and loops in the back.

And this one might put you to sleep. The title is.... wait for it.... p13a. The "p" stands for "project" and it was my 13th project, and the second version of it. Hence the "a".
