Well, I was an aspiring acolyte of All The WEC Things. Read āem cover to cover. The Supplements, The CoEvolution Quarterly, The WELLā¦
Have a somewhat different view of them now, recognizing that the Counter Culture didnāt counter as much as it thought, that DIY and communes have their limitations, and donāt scale wellā¦
But the Vibeā¦ Access To Tools was my mantra. In a lot of ways, still is. Just have a better understanding of what Tools are (and arenāt), and what you can do with (and without) them.
Not all of my legacy copies survived multiple moves and variations in living conditions unkind to paper products. Did find this remarkably clean copy without much trouble, but it might have been a copy I gave my mom to compare/contrast with her beloved Foxfire books, from about the same time period.
An interesting time and point of view, to be sure. Not all bad. Just not nearly as good as it could have been.
Have a decent collection of tools now, know how to use most of them to good effect, made a living more often than not. No doubt there will be quite a bit of head scratching and bewilderment when my time comes, and someone holds the Great Estate Sale of all my gear.

#BadGear - #Roland #System-8 - #AudioPilz
Welcome to #Bad #Gear, the show about the world's most hated #audio #tools. Today we are going to talk about Roland System-8. Is this soon abandoned flagship #synthesizer, little sibling of #System-1, part of the Roland #Aira range, #virtual #analog #synth, Roland #Cloud plugout host and overall eye-sore a #future #classic or just another #expensive #plastic #toy? Is it worthy of the rich Roland #Jupiter-8 and Roland #Juno-106 #legacy?
