What's the story behind your avatar?
I see a bunch of interesting avatars around here and would like to know how you made them/where you nicked them from. So share
Mine comes from a photo blending equal parts androgyny and monotribe XD

Me and my girlfriend at a friend/mentor's place with Keith Emerson's moog. My grandpa was ELP's tour/road manager in the late 70s/early 80s and Gene keeps the moog in tip top shape while it isn't touring. Lots of ties to Keith in the family/friends circle.
Boom boom.

Gort light burst, because if we were ever invaded by Robot Aliens they would probably like electronic music the most.

I love the design, and I generally think that all truly great music requires spring reverb crashes and a DR-55. I want to remind myself that messy and naive experimentation is the purest sort of creative state.VIDEO

Mine is just my tape deck... but maybe some time I will go back to the old ski jumper avatar, which is from the film The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner.
