IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

"Old technology" had to convey nostalgy and marvel. I found the gramophone a
good candidate for this round. But then, the gramophone needed a context, a
companion. A famous record label provided the plot...
I designed the image as a sleeve cover for a record. Candidates welcome.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

All modelling was made with Rhino, as with all my other images.
For rendering, I wanted to emulate a studio shot. So, instead of my customary
Vue d'Esprit, I turned back to POV-Ray and its radiosity.
All texturing is procedural. I used 3-point lighting, with the key light being
in fact a group of half a dozen point light, to get reasonably soft shadows.
