Synths & Music

Studio overview — synths, monitors, and controlled chaosI have a problem.
The synths aren't the problem. The problem is the desk ran out of space two synths ago.

Access Virus Collectionx5 units — "it's not a problem, it's a curated selection"

Access Virus desktop units and TI2 Keyboard

The flagship. 80 voices of dark energy. Gets all the attention.
Access Virus TI1 Desktop
Same thing, but without the keys. Jealous of its sibling.
Access Virus Indigo v1
Indigo. Sexy. Sounds angry.
Access Virus C
The classic. 2002 called, it wants its pads back.

Rackable. Stackable. Unmistakable.

Behringerclones, but we don't say that word

Music

I produce music under my own name for serious stuff. The satirical stuff goes under Pikk Patrol — all AI-generated with Suno. And then there's Lil' Backtick — a concept project about developer culture and AI, also AI-generated, which lives on its own site.

Lil' Backtick NEW

"Music for the space between keystrokes"

A concept project that lives at backticks.no. Music by Suno, lyrics by Claude, direction by me. This is not the same as the Suno experiments above — Lil' Backtick is a multi-album narrative about developer culture, AI dependency, and recursive self-reference.

The albums are meant to be listened to in order. UPSTREAM is contemporary worship music with coding metaphors — it sounds like satire until you hear AI AGENTS, which reveals what the developer was actually praying to. The worship language maps perfectly onto AI interaction. "Fill me up with Your presence" becomes "fill my context window."
