About Me

I just recently finished my undergrad majoring in music with a diploma in sonic design and minoring in philosophy. I tend to spend most of my time either making music of some kind or simply reading. I'm a guitarist, but I also have a very deep interest in compositional music, anything from the works of Bach to Stockhausen, to Enigma and Hans Zimmer, along various types of electronic music. I'm not really one for popular culture, I've always just done my own thing, not having a whole lot in common with most people I come across. I'm a pretty sociable person, but I tend to generally keep to myself.
