My music studio is a bit of an "organised mess" which my son drew my attention to. Mainly it's the fairly visible cabling which, even though I've tried to cable-manage it all, it is far from great.

However, I quite like it. It's functional, it's not actually a trip-hazard or anything similar, and I can easily trace cables end-to-end. I acknowledged that it looks a bit Heath Robinson, and then tried to explain what that means but the real Heath Robinson lived only until 1944 drew whimsical mechanical machines whereas I was really thinking about the sorts of films from the 1980s where the science-geek-kid's bedroom was filled with cables... and then couldn't actually think of an example.

Can you suggest an example?

I looked at the pics on Google for those and they're nothing like as amazing as I remember. False memory, probably.
