Oh Christ, might as well cover all the factoids:  

Brian Ferdirko's main gig is the midi-god at a studio called Extacy
that's owned by one of the guy's from the band X-Japan, who I believe
Thighpaulsandra worked with in the 90's.  Extacy is the place that has
the wall of modular gear, including a 3 racks by eight feet Doepfer,
and huge Buchla 200's, 100's, Polyfusions, Aries', Moogs, Arp 2500's,
Emu's, Serge's and a Synthi 100, not to mention five Fairchild
compressors, about 76 Neve mic pre's, two thrity foot long SSL
consoles, Joni Mitchell's old dual manual Mellotron and the grand
piano which used to be at Lincoln Center and is signed by both Aaron
Copeland and Leonard Bernstein.  This is the studio which was
recording the tracks for an upcoming musical last summer which stars
the singer from Skinny Puppy, Paul Servino and Paris Hilton.  I met
her there last summer, btw.  She was quite nice, was engaged in our
brief introduction and her dog is cute. Brian was originally brought
into Extacy to help buy all this equipment when the studio was formed
in early 90's.  Another who helped in that was Chris Pitman, who went on to
become a keys player with Tool, who is now with Guns N' Roses, who
I've become good buddies with since he approached us at Namm last year
about doing that system for them.

Next up:  my pre-highschool years.

just kidding.
