Music gear from the trenches of Rock 'n Roll - small venues, musicians and recording studios. Inspired by the gear backstage at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, Scott set out to capture the authentic feel of working equipment that is often overlooked but which is the backbone of popular music. Photographed in a straightforward way but with a pop art color twist, these "ordinary" objects of the backline, now take center stage.

Instruments belonging to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans, LA. Preservation Hall is a venue where live Jazz is played nightly and which is dedicated to preserving the American art form of jazz by passing it along to the next generation through the initiatives of their foundation. The band and the hall are an American treasure.

Vintage cassette tapes discovered in deep storage and still in their glorious foam Case Logic carrying case, this collection of classic albums is all about the details. After not having seen them for about 30 years Scott was struck by how interesting each one was as an intricate little mechanical object. A little box of low tech science that has the sole purpose of transporting the art that lies dormant within. Photographed in 100 megapixel medium format, when printed large, they reveal all the wear and tear from years of sliding in and out of tape decks, boom boxes and Walkmans these cassettes are real survivors from another era. You can almost hear the music. What was your first or favorite album? You can search the collection by artist name or album title through the search icon in the top right corner.
