diversity
I listen to a wide variety, but Industrial/ Experimental/ Powernoise/ Electro/ have dominated the airwaves for a while. I have begun to steer toward folk/tribal/experimental/noise (with a soft spot for Mediterranean/Middle Eastern sounds), but always with an ear out for more. I can rarely listen to anything over and over again, and I try to listen to everything at least once. Live is usually best. To make a list is a challenge.

all of those who have knowingly or unknowingly helped nudge me towards finding me....with music, art, dance, knowledge, patience...
