Most people know actor Matt Berry for playing the epically awful, sex-crazed boss Douglas Reynholm on the British series, The IT Crowd.
While he’s best-known for delivering lines like “You there, computer man. Fix my pants.”, though, he’s also a musician with a long list of credits, including scoring for TV, creating a comic rock opera and five albums.
And he’s a synth geek. His Twitter feed is as likely to feature his latest synth (a Prophet 6) as a photo related to his acting work.
Berry recently commissioned Amber Creative to update his home studio to be a more professional work area for recording and writing music.
In this video, Berry shares his thoughts on the updated home studio and what he sees as some of its key elements:

God, Matt Berry plays such (delightful) jerkasses, but seems like he’d be a severely cool guy in person.
…not to mention the love of Prophets.
I never knew that about him.
IT crowd kicked ass. As did Black Books by the same creator.
He does look like he would be fun to talk with.
I missed and opportunity to go drinking with this guy and I am absolutely bloody kicking myself now!
