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?

Iām 22 and from the East Midlands, about an hour north of London.
Iāve 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 Iāll 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 Iām spending most of my free time with it.
Find Elektron machines are the best for me: easy workflow, deep creative possibilities.

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 Iām 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 itās 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.

Nice to see a wide range of ages of all the 'Nauts! Iām 47, live in Portland, Oregon at the moment, but plan on moving back to New Zealand next year (Iām American). I guess I write and play a range of electronic and acoustic worldish music. Mostly have a background as a bass player and percussionist and then Turkish bowed tanbur player for the last 13 years. Got into making āelectronic musicā using Cakewalk Sonar long ago and then Ableton since v. 4. Used that as a looper for my strings and percussion for some years before getting an OT in 2013. Sold that, tried advanced pedal loopers, regretted selling the OT and bought one in 2016. Itās been a crazy ride since

Louis Andriessen has composed some of the wildest shit Iāve ever laid ears on, never heard him mentioned by anyone other than classical composers though. Awesome list of collaborators, will definitely check out your stuff 
Iām 28, Glasgow, playing in some bands, working on my own tunes, going to shows, etc etc. Itās a great city for friends and creativity.

As old as the hills and far away.
Apparently my brother-in-law used to make synth experiments out of scrap electronics from TVs on our kitchen table when I was a nipper. Later I learned the trick of taping over the erase head when I was given a cassette recorder aged about 11. There was an EMS of some sort of at middle school. Autobahn sounded great on the radio. All these things led to to here.
