I've wanted to get their OP-1 portable synth since the first time I saw it, that price tho.. https://teenage.engineering/store/op-1/

Echoing sibling: waited years, found good used deal, told myself I’d just sell it for the same price if I didn’t love it.

Most inspiring instrument I’ve ever played. Reconnected me back to making music.

Wow that's a lot cheaper than I expected. Unlike buying a big Eurorack it's also dooming you to eternal poverty.

Colossus AS100 classic: £26500K

Colossus AS200 slim: £23500

Colossus DOUBLE: £50000

Limited Edition BLACK Colossus classic: £27500K

wow...

The photography of this is interesting. I'm not sure I'd know how to approach this assignment (I might start with rapport and portraiture in the space), but some things I noticed on different photos:

* Warm vintage color cast on the '70s-looking gear wood panel.

* On-camera-flash-like directional lighting, with harsh shadow (maybe to separate person from gear background, but both in focus?).

* Contrast and saturation jacked up.

* Bluish cast on shot composed like a point&shoot snapshot.

* Shooting through houseplants, like nature explorer discreetly observing engineer in their native habitat. Maybe the plants are part of the character of the space.
