  • Tardy Tuesday

    Tardy Tuesday was worse than 10am Monday but today is different. Last night, I promised my sister I wouldn’t touch this machine. I would leave early from work, 5pm. I would call her on my way to Yoga. And when I got home at night, after eating and showering with my Yoga mat, I would…

  • Negative Feedback

    I realize that things had finally spiraled out of control the moment I tore open the sealed envelope labeled RENT to pay for another synthesizer. My collection: Three analog synthesizers, two drum machines, a digital sound sampler, a Nintendo Gameboy that had been transformed into a pattern sequencer,
