It's been a terrific adventure with MOTU over the past 25 years, but my time has come to retire.
I've closed Gravity Music, shut down the website, sold off most of my studio gear, and am done with music.
Thanks, James, and the regulars for all the help you have provided over the decades.
See ya on the other side....
So long, and thanks for all the fish

Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish
Gee Jim, whilst I'm happy for you, I'm having difficulty imagining how you'll manage without at least some sort of dabbling in music experimentation.
Not worth keeping a cheap bare-bones setup just for foolin' around when inspiration strikes?
Thank you for everything you've contributed over the years BTW, brother. All the best!

Re: So long, and thanks for all the fish
Hey Jim...
I'm sad to see you go.
You always had a unique twist on topics.
With your talent, I can't imagine that you will stop making music.
I heard some of your stuff and it was great.
You gotta do what you gotta do, but I hope you will keep making music in some form.
Wishing you bliss in your new adventures!
