I have some extraordinary music tools, although in a rather compact little home office, for composing Brazilian jazz. Among the few things I will spend big money on are speed and sound.

I am inspired by great sound. That means great speakers and the best virtual instruments for jazz big band and orchestra I can get.

The speed part means, if I have an idea, I want to get right to it and not wait for technology.

And I do play a variety of real instruments (brass and woodwinds) but what makes me want to pick them up and play is my work in BIAB.
