My name is Ivette. I've been known to be highly charismatic, endearing, altruistic, lively and passionate.. but while still a young girl, I don't like making any self-proclaimed facts about myself because day to day I continue to grow and become a better person. The few things I know I will always have as a part of me are my love for music, art, writing and the beauty of nature; there's simply just nothing as captivating as the deep emotion a genuine heart is always swayed by. One of my favorite poets once said: "Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears." This man was Edgar Allen Poe :)
I would generally like to meet other musicians, artists of any kind, writers, humanists, spiritualists, dreamers; those who recognize and fight against the injustice in the world; and anyone with purity, innocence, and hope still dangling within against all odds -- people of this sort, mostly only because the irrational hatred and intolerance in the world is something I don't like focusing on. I'd much rather paint fire across the skyline, lay beneathe a freezing moon, or wake up with a dance of december souls :D
I would however like to clarify that as closed-minded as this sounds, I have NO interest whatsoever in talking to anyone who lives with the "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" attitude. First off, I'm straight-edge, and second, there are much better things in life besides partying and such debaucheries. I want innnovation and inspiration, not the draggy and soulless way too many carry their lives with. I'm also currently single and not expecting that to change.

Obviously, a lot of metal. Mostly I listen to black, doom, power, viking, folk, etc. I do however hateanything that sounds like it's only purpose is to be "brutal", which includes all grindcore, and 70% of death metal. I payattention to musical composition, and the atmosphere set up by the artists behind the music. Not how fast a blast beat is, nor howdeadly your growling/pig-squeals sound. Music is an art, and like all other forms of self-expression, it'll become meaningless if it's just forsale. I take the message behind music very literally, even if my opinions offend. Just know I am respecting and understanding of othertastes, and I'm not the type to not socialize with someone who doesn't like the same music, that's just beingclosed-minded.
As for myself being a musician, I play keys, flute, clarinet, guitar, harp, and dulcimere. But granted I'm not superwoman, lately I've been giving my focus towards my keys, flute and my singing. I'm a mezzo-soprano/lyric soprano with a 2.5 octave range, and recordings (though rather outdated -- new ones soon to come) can be found here . Out of all that I do, I'd have to admit I love singing the most :)
