Gui Boratto – My Studio This is my home studio. It’s a floating wood box in my apartment here in São Paulo. I use a Mac Pro running Pro Tools and Logic 9. Related

EMS VCS3 This is one of my favorite pieces of gear. It’s the EMS VCS3, used by Pink Floyd on Dark Side Of The Moon. I bought it from the actor Vincent Gallo. It’s quite expensive but it sounds so unique. Songs like ‘Galuchat’ and ‘Stems From Hell’ were made with a lot of its sounds. Related

Sequential Circuits Six Trak This is the Six Trak from the inventors of MIDI, Sequential Circuits. It’s a very cheap but still nice little synth. I’ve made some nice sounds with it. The main ‘Azzurra synth lines were made by this baby. I’ve even used it for some drum bleeps. It reminds me of some of Kraftwerk’s sounds. Related

Apogee Converters & Summing Box My favourite AD/DA converters are the AD-16x and DA-16x by Apogee. The black summing box is from Electric Lane. It’s a hand-made analogue box built by Mitch, the same engineer from Robert Babicz’s studio. It sounds soooo nice! Related

Acoustic Treatment The shape of my studio has been worked on by my friend Leo Leite. He worked for years with Sasha in NYC. Some years later he came back to Brazil and he specialised in studio acoustics and shapes. He made my entire studio and he also made the diffusers, all in wood. The walls are coated in ecological leather. As I smoke, I preferred this option instead of common studio fabrics, avoiding the smoke smell. And it looks and feel so much nicer. Related

Guitars, Bass & Mandolin Some of my guitars and bass. The mandolin was a recent acquisition. I’ve been trying to play REM’s ‘Losing My Religion’ In the back, the 2010 Beatport Prize for Best Electronica Track with ‘Besides’, from my second album Take My Breath Away. Related

Monitors For monitors, I use a pair of ADAM S2X and Dynaudio AIR Series. Related
