Hair: epic.
Coat: epic.
Stash: epic.
Expression: epic.
Synthi 100: epic.
Yes. Everything is certifiably epic.
Naming your synth "Delaware": f***in' epic.
Indeed, best synth shot ever
But how do you select the presets?
Now I want to go back in time.
ahhh the days of having to write down your patches to save presets
look at the size of those knobs!
LOL! The circular, protruding "oscilloscope" window he seems to be peering into is also epic.
The tash and the suit really makes the whole pic though. 🙂
(For those who didn't know, the Radiophonic Workshop's address was Delaware Road, London.)
Cigarette in his left hand too. Beautiful! 😉
Look at his face : he spent the last 24 hours writing down the settings. He looks tired.
i like the addition of the Battleships board in the middle. nice touch. oh. hang on…
Maybe his haunted expression is the realisation that his battleship is about to sink. 😛
Delaware, cos it was under delaware rd in london in the radiophonic workshop studios. Converted victorian ice rink.
F***ing awsome!
Yup Delaware Road home of BBC Maida Vale Studios (where I am proud to call my place of work)
Still home of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and many fantastic daily live session recordings for Radio 1 , 2 and 6 Music.
Alas this beast is long gone but we are still the custodians of some select pieces from the workshop which are currently on loan and can be viewed at the Doctor Who experience exhibition.
The place is a historical gemstone like a not too distant cousin of Abbey Road Studios and should be preserved in its current form for all eternity!
