I am not a general, but some of these interests are. I spend a great deal of time listening to music and playing around on the guitar. Working out is my big stress reliever and eating is my other. Umm, I love laying out in a park, reading, and napping...in the park. But I'm in NYC now, so I'm probably going to die while doing that. And what's the one thing that makes me happy 100% of the time? Acting and singing. Yeah, I'm that guy.
For pete freakin sakes! If anybody knew that there'd be nobody on here.
Finished my second Orchestral piece and have loaded it up. "Theme of a night". Check out my music page to listen to my first piece "Theme of a day". Notice a pattern?Check out Raising Sand, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. It's a mix of bluegrass, folk, and rock, really really nice.
Martin Sexton, Ben Folds, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Sia (don't know 'em? Get to know 'em).
I love orchestral theme music. American Beauty, Titanic, Shrek, A Beautiful Mind, The Pianist, Gettysburg, Glory, Rudy, Gimme James Horner, John Williams, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Klaus Badelt, minimalist Philip Glass. The list goes on and on.
Check these folks out.
Zero 7, Feist, Kate Earl, Rodrigo Y Gabriella, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne
