What's on your desktop?

Most of us use our computers for making music. All of us use them to IDMf. What does your desktop look like? I choose between a few dozen backgrounds, this one is a fan art of Fez (one of my favorite video games). There’s a few netlabel documents and some rendered audio files hanging out, and that’s about it.

At the moment I have a scene of a temple shrine in a lake.

of course you do not want to see my desktop

I mainly use this PC for work and printing off roms but it’s still armed to the teeth for some reason

graphic design i cooked up for an upcoming release.

some work in progress house tracks, a client master and some utility Ableton sessions for Rufus Du Sol.

Just a black screen. Can’t do the clutter of backgrounds. Helps me pick out shortcuts faster.

It always weirds me out how macs don’t lock their stuff to a grid.

they do actually … just need to set up the grid.

Macs are weird. Then again I don’t think we’d have multiple fonts if it weren’t for mac, so my weird is probably some mac developer’s absolute necessity.

I think I haven’t changed mine since I originally posted here. So I think I’ll update that tonight.

I cycle between a few different kinds of desktop background… some space images, some cars I’ve done shots of in Gran Turismo over the years, and a few kinds of art.

One kind of art I like is cave paintings. I don’t remember the exact show, but it was some Science Channel/History Channel/National Geographic show where they looked at if humanity ceased to exist, how long would various human constructions last? In one episode they did different kinds of art, and the stuff they decided would last longest would be the cave paintings that lasted millenia before we discovered them and to which the biggest threat is current human activity. So take that away and the cave paintings should last as long as the caves themselves. They showed some of what must be the oldest paintings in some cave in France, and I was blown away by how it seemed like a panorama of individual pieces, and how the figures depicted in the paintings flowed one into the other. I’ve never been able to find images of those cave paintings online, not like I remembered at least, but I have been able to find a few images that sort of evoke that idea.
