			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buried deep within the Department of Music lies one of Washington University&#8217;s best-kept secrets. <a href="http://richodonnell.com/about/">Rich O&#8217;Donnell</a>, former principal percussionist for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, runs the electronic music studio, possibly one of the most badass collections of synthesizers-old and new-available to be used by college students in the country. Let&#8217;s take a peek inside, shall we?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2173/elab1tz4.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-54 aligncenter" title="E-music lab 1" src="http://meshlabs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/elab1sm1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><a href="http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2173/elab1tz4.jpg"> </a></p>
<p><span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>Here you can see (from left): old Mac G4 running ProTools; a Buchla Electric Music Box; THROD, a massive modular synth built by Rich in the 70&#8217;s; and an ARP 2500. On top of the 2500 is its little brother, the 2600.</p>
<p><a href="http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/3537/elab2zl1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55" title="E-music lab 2" src="http://meshlabs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/elab2sm.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Here on the other side of the room you&#8217;ll find a Korg WaveStation and a Korg Triton. On the right there&#8217;s a Nord Modular G2, connected to a second Mac. This Mac also has Digital Performer, Ableton Live, and I think some other music production software on it. All inputs are directed to the patch bay next to the Nord for convenience, but I&#8217;m pretty sure there are some jacks that nobody knows where they go to.</p>
<p>Oh, and there&#8217;s also a Moog modular on the back wall:</p>
<p><a href="http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9805/elab3oz5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56" title="E-music lab 3" src="http://meshlabs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/elab3sm.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Some other goodies not pictured: 4-track tape recorder, a decade of Electronic Musician back issues, a wall of posters from local electronic music concerts, tube amps driving those monster JBL monitors, and various percussion instruments.</p>
<p>Rich refers to this place as &#8220;Fantasyland,&#8221; and I must say I agree with him. It&#8217;s certainly put my lonely <a href="http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=microKORG">MicroKorg</a> to shame.</p>
