Artist usage

This photo is from a Hypebeast article, James Blake: Instruments of Control.
The article talks about this being James Blake's studio, and on top of the piano his PreSonus HP4 Discrete 4-Channel Headphone Amp can be seen. The article is regarding his 2026 album release, Trying Times:
Tucked away in the basement of a studio in Central London’s Soho neighborhood is a 10 by 20 room where big ideas escape its small confines. Wires snake across the floor. Synths and keyboards are stacked one on top of another like books in a messy study. At the center of it all is dubstep innovator turned Grammy-winning producer and vocalist James Blake: tall, thoughtful, and quietly in command. Four keyboards surround him in a semicircle, with two more resting nearby.
