The Tale of the Castle
Far atop the City of Production sits the Musical Tower of Rupian Castle.
The music that comes through the castle walls is so clear and clean it can be heard for miles and miles, attracting all who hear it.
The music comes in many flavors and for all seasons.
People soon realized that it wasn't just music that came to life at the castle, but also the power to create beautiful visual stories into realization. In the tower, were the tools to create such stories.
The music that's created at the castle is more about telling stories and taking journeys. It was more about adding music to the sight of beauty and the love of the visual images that people had created from the tower for inspiration.
From time to time, ships would arrive at the harbor carrying many new and old instruments that were carried promptly into the castle.

Closing Notes: Clean and Distorted
My dad couldn’t play a single instrument, but he could tune anything. He tuned a huge world class pipe organ, a pipe at a time, without any equipment. He would also go to a performance to see where work needed to be done. He spent nights working at the city’s small studio, but kept his job with Eastman/Kodak film division.
He had a nice collection of Vinyl, 2track tapes and his Wollensak tape machine. When he was young, on certain special events, he would take his collection on-board and DJ to the guys on Navy ships.
If you were thinking that he was quite an influence for someone like me who would spend the rest of their life in audio, yes very true, but also imagine taking beginning clarinet lessons in front of a man with perfect pitch.
My grandfather worked with early paper speaker design, then eventually moved from one state to another, to be a part of their production. He was offered a contract to produce speakers and components for the military, but decided to follow his dreams and make speakers for professionals. It’s fun to think that he spent his whole life trying to get distortion out... and I try to put it back in!
