Behind every piece of music, there is the gear. That's why Wax Poetics is proud to announce our brand new tech column, Analog Out. Entries into the Analog Out library will appear in Wax Poetics magazine, and companion pieces will appear as part of our online content. This month we're starting with the king of the keys, the Rhodes electric piano. For a deeper look, read the online supplemental article on Harold B. Rhodes by Eothen Alapatt and Oli Wang.
