"NEW INTERVIEW!! Introducing #010 on iheartsynths with Tiny Wight of The Deadites. See how this masked maniac creates his brand of monster-killing synthpop and take a tour of his gorgeous studio space. "
"I♥SYNTHS: When did you start collecting synthesizers and what was your first?
Tiny Wight: I got my first synth – a little Casio MT-100 – back around 1985 when I was 11 (for “band”). I graduated to the equally terrible Yamaha PSR-47 when I was 13 or so. At 16 I picked up an Ensoniq SQ-1 and things started to get interesting. All of the early Deadites songs were made on this keyboard and an Alesis DM-5 module slaved to the onboard sequencer. I wrote with this combo plus an E-mu Orbit for about a decade, from 1990-2000.
Somewhere in the mid-1990′s, I started using a computer pretty extensively for songwriting, but mostly for sequencing and mixing. I picked up Propellerheads Reason v1 shortly after it came out towards the end of 2000 and used versions of that more or less exclusively until 2012, when I said, “F#*$& this sh#*&. This isn’t fun at all anymore”, and started my synth collection with a limited edition Moog Little Phatty Toxic Edition. Once I got my hands on it, my fate was sealed, and my wallet literally exploded, permanently injuring my right buttock."
