Lodewijk Vos (LØ): The Desk Setup That Turns Workflow Into a Weapon

LØ kicks things off by declaring war on uninspiring workspaces. His mission? Build a desk setup that doesn’t just look good, but actively drags you into the creative zone. No more wandering around a synth graveyard—everything is within arm’s reach, and every piece of gear is chosen for maximum musical spark. The focus is on desktop synths, not just for their sound, but for the way they keep you locked in the sweet spot between your monitors and your ideas.

It’s not about hoarding gear for the sake of it. LØ’s approach is ruthless: only what inspires, nothing that slows you down. Hardware wins over endless preset scrolling, and the setup is designed so you can move from beat to bass to weird noise without breaking your flow. The result? A workspace that’s less like an office and more like a rave bunker for your brain.

Here’s where things get spicy. LØ doesn’t just rely on one computer—he’s running a dual-computer setup that splits music production and content creation right down the middle. The main machine handles the heavy lifting for music, while a second laptop, powered by a Thunderbolt 5 docking station and a stack of 4K capture cards, takes care of video, livestreams, and screen recording. No more choking your CPU when you want to capture a killer jam.

The magic is in the wiring: one Thunderbolt cable brings everything together, from multiple cameras to audio interfaces. This means LØ can record, stream, and switch camera angles on the fly, all without his main production rig breaking a sweat. It’s a setup that’s ready to catch inspiration the moment it strikes—and to broadcast it to the world without lag or hassle.

Remote sessions don’t have to feel like shouting into the void. With this setup, LØ brings clients right into the heart of the studio—even if they’re halfway across the planet. Multiple camera angles, instant screen sharing, and high-fidelity audio mean clients get the full experience: they can see the gear, hear the music, and follow every tweak in real time.

The real kicker? Zero latency. LØ can play piano live over Zoom without the usual three-second delay, making sessions feel natural and collaborative. It’s a far cry from the days of endless permission requests and glitchy audio. This isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a way to bring back the vibe of in-person collaboration, even when everyone’s remote.
