The EMSA (EMS America) studio in Northampton, MA, 1976. Note the (near-) life-size color photo of the Putney studio in the upper right corner - and oh yeah, innumerable Synthi products, plus RMI Electra-Piano, Moog Series 35, ARP Axxe and Sequencer, TEAC 3340, my drums....

Here I am in 1977 playing the EMSA Moog 35; there were 2 15s nearby as well.
