This Is What Happens If You Sneak Into A Synthesizer Store At Night

Reader Ron Kurti found himself living next to an awesome synth store, Switched On, and daydreaming about all the fantastic gear:

“I was living next door to a synth store for a few months,” note Kurti. “Every time I walked in there I thought to myself, ‘how amazing would it be if this was my studio?'”

Eventually, he convinced them to let him sneak in at night and this is the result.

All sounds were recorded live at Switched On in Austin, Texas using new & vintage hardware synths & effects. The title of the track, Nerd’s Ascent, comes from the name of a patch on the Eventide Space Reverb.

  1. Nice video, gear and tune. Tasty mix of genres.
    Trying not to be too jealous – No shops like that within 20 miles of me…..gutted!

    1. I recently just missed a YC-45d for $600. Wasn’t sure it was worth the bones until it was gone in only a few days. Still, I ended up getting a Hammond.

  2. It seems a commercial for the synths shop, and I can’t figure out how he recorded this track with a lot of synthesizers in only one night (I suppose he was jamming all night long, recording, and then he mixed tracks at home…) but it rocks! 🙂 I like the video so much.
