Music:

i'm currently really into music that sounds like sorcery and magic. anything that takes my head on a voyage into beyond and the unknown. music that seemingly serves a higher purpose than entertainment, yet a purpose that even the creators are unaware of. music that is feuled by forces of energy and mind powers of the audience who feed and return the magic via dance and motion. we've almost raised the spirits of the dead!
