I'm having great fun playing with the VST version of the unique Inside Out vertical piano, designed by British composer/musician Sarah Nicolls. The company Song Athletics has captured the amazing sounds this piano makes in painstaking detail. Available at songathletics.com/products/ins...

** NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT ***
I'm delighted to announce the release of a new album of instrumental music featuring 11 of my earliest compositions, newly reimagined and reworked with the help of my longtime performing partner and friend RE-VO. Check it out: colmanjones.bandcamp.com/album/shinin...

As a teenager, I was a ham radio operator and obtained licenses both in Canada and the UK. As with many hobbies in our youth, it fell by the wayside, but I just googled my old call letters, and found this listing in a British shortwave magazine from 1974!

Thanks for asking.. I don’t have any footage yet, but will keep you posted… For what it’s worth, I discovered your question just now while wearing this T-shirt:

Also from the same 1986 documentary, Phil Collins is seen singing through a Beyer Dynamic M88 microphone - two of which I was also lucky enough to acquire from the Farm’s inventory of gear used by Genesis

At the end of this July 1986 interview in the magazine Making Music, Tony lists the DX7 and Emulator II as two of his favourite keyboards, along with the CP-70 - a model of piano I’m also lucky to own (albeit not Tony’s): www.muzines.co.uk/articles/tha...

This still - taken from a 1986 UK TV documentary recorded at Genesis’ studio The Farm - shows Tony playing his Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, with the blue Emulator II HD sampler keyboard above it

Felix loves to inspect anything new that comes into the house, including this new reading material that just arrived, formerly from the personal library of Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks - manuals which I will be studying intently to familiarize myself with the instruments they came with

Given this week’s 50th anniversary of the classic #Genesis album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and given where I happen to be at this moment, I couldn’t resist posting this shot I just took, while listening to a live performance of the first song on Side Two of the album
