A photograph surfaced at Facebook, dating 12 years back.

2012 wasn’t easy for me. Two creative endeavours I’ve invested a lot of efforts in crashed, I’ve lost an ability to sing and compose music for many months, and it had become totally evident that I wasn’t going to become a professional actor. Even though later I would resume performing, but without any hopes for being anything more than an amateur.

On the other hand, I have accrued some hardware – and completely legalized my software. On the stand there are Roland Juno-D (1st gen), and Korg O1/W FD, along with the iPad 3 running some synth. There were quite a few interesting software synths for iPad, especially Waldorf Nave.

On the table sit Korg Wavestation SR (with an old Behringer mixer and a very lacklustre Focusrite’s audio interface. By now I only have Wavestation with me, the rest of hardware changed ownership.

And I am irreversibly far away from the room the picture had been taken in.
