I'm looking for sombody whose basic impulse to create is as vital to them as the sun.Somebody who has an absolute passion and bliss for really abstract, beautiful electronic music (especially on the experimental, downtempo IDM breakbeat side of things, since that's what I listen to and make most of the time ;^)I'm looking for somebody to whom music is an extra sense, who always has the soundtrack to their lives playing in their heads. Somebody who answers to a muse, in whatever form that might happen to take.Somebody who isn't afraid to try new things and to have new experiences, and to sometimes blindly chase their bliss with wreckless abandon, laughing the entire way.Somebody who thinks that smart, funny, synthesizer obsessed, geeky electronic musicians are hot wouldn't hurt, either :^)
