Phil use to live in Bethlehem, PA , about 30 minutes from me, and I took my dead 2600 to him. He completely restored and modded it for me and it is just completely badass. His workshop was unbelievable. Scads of 2600s, his own home made modulars, Moogs, a museum of grand analog stuff....and the Novachord, which was completed at the time. He fired it up for me and the .mp3s don't do it justice. Phil is a one of a kind artist there is no doubt.
He has since relocated to Savannah. Who can blame him? For those that haven't been there, it is the most gorgeous quintessential small southern town, a smaller, older version of Austin sort of. He gets my Mini in the spring for a once over. I am anxious to hear what he does with it.

I had never seen this web site before, but I bow to Phil Cirocco. This is just amazing work and the results and the MP3s are mind blowing.
