My Studio-in-a-Backpack
For those times when I need to get away, yet not be separated from all technology and musical equipment, I have created a studio that fits into a small backpack:
It contains all I need to have an enjoyable getaway, and still make music, take video, and play with some electronic toys, should I desire. Here's what's packed in here:
