Remixing at the late composer Basil Poledouris’ Blowtorch Flats studio (Venice, CA). When
traveling, the ProTools cabinet is housed in its own ATA flight case, “MOTHRAck”
(Mother Of All Racks?), which was custom made - like the other two cases in the pic - by
Kriz-Kraft of North Hollywood (now A&S Case Company). How’s the sailing up there, Basil?

Custom Moog Modular Synthesizer

There’s nothing virtual about this bad boy. Temperamental? You bet. But nothing else sounds

It crushes bones and liquefies internal organs. It will break your mama’s back!
