may you rest in peace, michael...

"It’s only when you grow up and step back from him―or leave him for your own home―it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it."

marantz.

my other new best friend, the marantz. i have to create a 30 second audio commerical using this lovely device for my media, sound, and imaging class.

if i like how the commerical turns out, i'll post it here. i had a little assistance from my very creative, art teacher boyfriend who helped me add a little humor to it.
