Which town ? Im from Quebec btw 
Been hanging around here for a while but didn’t notice this thread before…
41, now living, raising family and doing research in Canberra, Australia (the capital in fact 
) but originally from Germany, grown up on the northern fringes of the Ruhrgebiet, have lived in the US and Swizerland in the last 10 years as well…
Very early inspiration and kindling of fascination with synthesisers courtesy of Kraftwerk and my parents’ reel-to-reel tape recorder. Today I listen to too many different styles of music to list here, but I am trying to pursue technoid electronic styles myself in the little spare time I have…
If there are any people from the greater ACT area: it would be great to hear from you!

I am old and I come from the grim and frostbitten north. 
Or in other words 44 and Helsinki Finland.
My musical background is in playing guitar and bass in heavier alt.-type bands, one of which got to somewhat serious level in the late 1990s. After that ended I got into doing electronic music, hiphop beats and downtempo whatnot, had a break for a couple of years and now have been getting back into making music again, geared mainly towards deeper techno.

36, Berlin. Currently inspired by Downtempo EDM artists, who produce between 90 and 100 bpm and still manage to get the floor bouncing.
Any other Berliners on here?

I’m 22 and from the East Midlands, about an hour north of London.
I’ve played in bands through uni and also make lofi BMSR-esque tracks with a Digitakt and SP404.
I work as a copywriter, hopefully trying to break into marketing in the music tech industry. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to write all day (like I do now) but about synths and samplers.

41, Italy. Some years ago became addicted of metal boxes making weird sounds, now I’m spending most of my free time with it.
Find Elektron machines are the best for me: easy workflow, deep creative possibilities.

Quantum physics paradox? No, actually one of our cats decided that she’d rather live out and about in the neighborhood and started coming “home” only about once a week.

I can appreciate any music thread that references Schrödinger. 
34, Antwerp (Belgium).
Taking my first steps into the Elektron world with my new Digitakt, but I’ve been eyeing Elektron boxes for a while now.

37, from glorious Huddersfield but now living in Copenhagen. Bought an Octatrack in 2015 after many years of having no hardware and not really making any music. Tried a Machindrum for a bit but it felt ancient after the Octatrack and I realised I’m not really a fan of drum machine sounds. Constantly eyeing up a Rytm but have not gone there yet. Mk2 with sampling might push me over the edge.

At age 42, my wife, 12 year old son and I live in sun soaked and hurricane battered Tampa, Florida, USA. I began doing electronic music back in the mid 1990s and I still have much of what I purchased back then. I was a technology professional for much of the past 20 years but I decided to change fields and go into business for myself. I now work in finance, something I find incredibly interesting. So far it’s been enjoyable to combine my analytical mindset with my understanding of economics and love for problem solving.
I guess it was back in 2013 that I bought my Octatrack, which was my first Elektron instrument. Prior to that, I had some experience (through a band mate) with a SIDStation in the early 2000s. You could say it was early on that I recognized Elektron as a company to keep an eye on.
