I’m slim_pkns (pronounced Slim Pickens). I took on this moniker in 1977 when I was trying to find a unique way to post high scores on old quarter stand up video games of that era. Missile Command and Robotron 2084 were my favorites.
I’m not a music producer or trying to start a music career. I just like playing with synthesizers and making music. I’m older now and have more money for gear than when I was young, but I still try to keep things modest. I especially like the Korg MS-20 and Teenage Engineering OP-Z. This channel is a recording of my musical journey and progress over time.
I don’t use a DAW. I do enjoy sampling but also making sounds directly from synthesizers and other instruments. We’ll see how long going without a DAW and VSTs last. For now, I’d prefer to spend money on hardware than software. I also try to keep things mobile and light weight. I love charging up two Bose Soundlink speakers and the OP-Z for a pop up jam.
