As a musician for 22 years, I have always been involved in audio projects and building audio equipment. In 2001, I started to build my studio, which I called Bluetrack.

I decided to split the studio into two parts: one, high-tech and the other, old-school. The older part would use vintage equipment, and I found several types of amps, pre-amps, compressors etc with unique and stylish designs. The kit was ful of analogue gauges and tube based circuits. I’m happy to keep this stuff alive!

I won a Coolermaster Cavalier case in a modding contest back in 2004, and it was my incentive to create a mod that would be a good bridge in my studio - a retro case mod that could represent the spirit of the vintage style, whilst housing cutting edge technological equipment.

Silent ContexYZ is the result of this goal. I hope you enjoy reading about it!
