analyze photos of electronic musicians

Ha I'm amazed I recognized Pole instantly from those photos which is strange, because I've seen what he looks like, once maybe. Yeah, they do like like promo shots for some one releasing a new-age album or something.

I also guessed right off the bat that that picture of Murcof (it's him cause I checked) was Fax, because he looks mexican. Pretty damn good for such poor criteria!

Either way, everyone here is how I expected them to look except old man mixmaster morris of course. Stockhausen looks like Ian Curtis no? Ha, I'm sure he'll be getting a biopic now.
Seriously though, Edgard Varese is actually rather impressive in his appearance, combines the mad-scientist in his/her lab with the eccentric professor look and comes out like a true any Musique Concrete artist should (whatever that implies)

... tho I doubt he'd have been happy about being called an electronic musician

Playing some sort of Theremin-esque thing I guess.

lol Schaeffer's 1-octave keyboard.

I think that Pierre Schaeffer pic is fantastic

Yeah, I semi-joke about the staring into the future pose but quite a few of these pics have a wonderful dreamy-but-focussed/intent look about them. A combination of the mad scientist thing noted above with sharply Mod dress sense, some feeling of "I am making Magick happen here". The flash reflection (I assume) in the Schaeffer photo composes the whole thing really well.

k I'm stupid, dreamy/intent = listening, doesn't it?

50s electronic musicians look like film stars!

Best one on the thread, IMO!

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 15:07 (eighteen years ago)

With all the early electronic guys, there's a trichotomy of music studio + mad science lab + academic formality that is so incredibly cool. That Schaeffer photo basically represents my dream job.

Don't forget Giorgio...
