About Me

I'm not very good at talking about myself, but I'll try. Primarily I guess you could say that I'm a musician. I play classical & electric guitar, synthesizers and produce various types of electronic music. You can check out my trance project astral.wind @ myspace.com/astralwind. I spend the majority of my time working on music, learning new softsynth programs and reading. I tend to be very shy and dont really get out much..partially by choice, and partially by circumstance. I'm also somewhat of a spiritual seeker, but dont let this bother you. I'm not interested in pushing my ideas on anyone, although I'm always happy to discuss them with anyone who is curious.
I'm a huge metalhead; i've been listening to heavy metal for the majority of my life and even though its in a sorry state of affairs today, it still remains a large part of my life. I'm not into name dropping bands, but if you're interested in finding out what I listen to I've attempted to provide a small overview in my music section. If you want to know anything else, feel free to send me a message.

Memories

I just spent the past hour or so looking through my old livejournal that I had from 1999 until 2002 or so. It was strange to say the least. I've changed so much that I c...
