About the Archives

Kevin’s website, Synthfool, celebrated its 20th Anniversary in 2016. There are a lot of things he never put on Synthfool for various reasons. I started this blog to share some of those things. Synthfool proper is primarily about synths. This site will be primarily about documenting Kevin’s work and life.

It is my objective to present his files as they were left on his hard drives, with minimal editing. This is especially true of his writings. They help show who he was as a person. He never claimed to be perfect, and he wouldn’t want his mistakes to be ignored just because he’s dead. He’d want to make sure others had the chance to learn from his mistakes. 😉

I do not have any set schedule for updating this site. At the current moment, I’m working on it as I feel up to the task. I am doing my best to do what he wanted me to do, which is live my own life on my own terms. Sometimes this doesn’t leave me the chance to update this blog for months at a time. I try to make up for that by adding lots of content when I do have the chance to do so.
