Visiting David Torn (and his Gear)

Driving into upstate New York you can’t help but get taken by the tranquility. This is especially true if your usual surroundings consist of concrete giants atop speeding torpedoes in a setting where no one person, place or thing sleeps. The calming effect of nature is evident in the earth-tone clad ethos of Woodstock, NY. Residing “up the country” within the Catskills culture has its undeniable perks and thus has been a haven for artists – namely musicians. For a sonic avenger like David Torn affectionately known as “Torn”, it’s the perfect place to build a house in the middle of nowhere so you can turn everything up to 11 and have at it.
