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?

I think that Pierre Schaeffer pic is fantastic
Best one on the thread, IMO!
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 15:07 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

Who's the guy in this pic? I really like it - you rarely see pictures where someone's DJing so hard he's sweating all over. And no one's even looking at him. The lonely devoted worker.

Also re: the first Murcof picture. He looks like a combination of a young Fidel Castro and Suge Knight.
Also I once noticed: Ellen Allien http://www.discogs.com/image/A-4281-001.jpg Superpitcher http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:G48DwCBz0SDoHM:http://www.resonatormag.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/superpitcher.jpg It's too bad I don't have any good photos of myself on my computer, because Superpitcher and I have a tendency for dogglegangerism.
