Anyone write tunes sitting on the floor with mini floor desk?

I find usin my gear (elektrons & laptop) at a standard desk with office chairs feels un-natural. I hate it.

I work much better on the couch leaning over my gear on a coffee table. not the best thing to be doing leaning like that long term tho I reckon. n sitting on the couch for long periods just feels unhealthy.

recently I keep thinkin what about one o them mini desks n floor chair. yoga style. I like being on the floor. gives me good vibes.

anyone do this?

The last time I sat on the floor it took me half an hour to get up.

I’m out.

I tried all kind of different heights and working positions. It didn’t make any difference. My music still sucks.

Sitting on the floor is so beneficial, it’s probably a good idea just to try it out. I have a few pieces of “loose” equipment that I like to jam out with on the sofa, I’ll give this floor thing a go with those.

and besides, a low table like that is probably useful for a bunch of things…

yea i was thinkin I could probably use it for somethin or other if it doesn’t work out.

I’ve read that working on the floor you have to keep shifting position, but that that’s half the point as it keeps your body moving, from becoming sedentary.

might give it a spin and report back 🫡

conversely, the last time I worked sitting on the couch I fell asleep and when I had woken up I had dropped my digitone… albeit not very far and onto carpet.

old people problems.

have you seen general kustard’s floor set up in the your setups thread? it has a low center of gravity.

no, I haven’t been in there for a while. I’ll have a search of it now :slight_smile:

all copyright owned by and liability unto @generalkustard

all college and pizza box jokes have already been exhausted so please restrain yourselves, very functional looking set up though.

haha :joy:

duly noted.

I’d rather go up from a desk than down.

I got an adjustable (Quiklok) table/DJ table that lets you stand and use gear, I find that way more conducive to making music than sitting.

have you considered a sit/stand desk? it’s more flexible that way. I’ve never tried the leaning standing chair approach though, sounds so right up my alley like there would be no consequences for my dwindling motivation to remain upright.

yea im considering some kind o standing stool type setup. love writing standing, but need some support from time to time

This is what I have, 2 of them, work great, let you stand or sit;
