Music is an art consisting of sound and silence expressed through time.
Elements of sounds as used in music are pitch (including melody and harmony). Rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture. The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of music varies according to culture and social context.
Music ranges from strictly organized compositions and performances.
Some things I like are:
Photography, writing, singing, wandering, music, nature, reading, laughing, happiness, deep conversations, yoga, serenity, spontaneity, art, instrumentals, operas, musicians, poetry, having fun, traveling, walking, computers, maturity, intelligence, culture, history, mythology, languages, vocabulary, animals, friends, hanging out. Life.
Musicians and composers. Writers and dreamers. Travelers and nomads. Optimists and transcendentalists.
Those who show maturity and intelligence. Those who have a free spirit and an open mind. Those who can make the best out of life. Those who admire and find inspiration from the beauty of life and nature. Those who have goals and have all intentions of attaining them.
I am always willing to meet new people and many great people whom I have met on here.
I respect all genres of music. However, I'm quite partial to many genres and/or sub-genres such as:
Classical Music, i.e, Medieval, Baroque, Gothic, Symphonic, Opera, Romantic etc.
Folk, i.e., European (specifically Scandinavian, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Irish, Scottish etc.), Ballads, Balkan.
Metal, i.e, Classic, Viking, Black, Power/Progressive, Symphonic, Folk, Avant-Garde.
