I spent some time this week setting up a music workstation in my kitchen. Woohoo!

Why my kitchen? Well… I don’t eat in my kitchen. I cook in it occasionally, but never eat in it. That’s almost always in the living room, or for dinner parties I’ll annex the dining room upstairs.
I have a very small apartment, and the kitchen is fully 1/3rd of the space. So… why not?
The rig used to be a large computer hutch facing a wall, and my piano keyboard on a left-hand right angle. I ditched the hutch altogether and put all the computer bits on the mini Metro shelf. My mouse works in the upper right space of the music keyboard, and my computer keyboard… is still an issue. But not a major one. It’s bluetooth so it can more or less go anywhere. It’s light enough to sit on top of the dials on the piano keyboard.
So.. for sheer geek-penis-sizery, my music workstation consists of:

• Dual 1.8mhz G5 w/1.5GB of RAM
• 23″ CInema Display
• 17″ LG Flatron Display
• M-Audio MobilePre USB Audio Interface
• M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 Weighted keyboard

Go me!
Now I just need to find some music inside. Stacia comforts me with the wisdom that this is what partnerships are about. When one person is feeling a bit of the blank-canvas fear, the other one can lead for awhile.
