illustration of A private commission for Tom, a creative director at Echoic Audio and a producer: Gilbert. He's a synthesizer-mad lad, so the illustration includes favourites of his: the Roland 303 and 808. Plus, there are knobs, volume sliders, buttons and symbols from other synths: 'The Cat - Octave', the Roland TR-909 and SH-101. He's also a dad, so the family are included with the little one holding onto a teddy.
