About Me

for 29 years i live music. and going to live it thrice longer (:
if you wanna go into details, they are here . i'm open to all kinds of music - don't hesitate to request if your style doesnt matches mine, the boundaries are very relative (((:
    i read each profile before approving, and if there's nothing that i'd like - no add will follow. nevertheless, it's nearly 4000 profiles in my "friends list", still i receive about 50 requests a day... people, that's a huge amount! i'm giving up.
    from now on i'll be adding only people, who:
    takes time to message me first; and it's not a copy-paste; and contains some basic info, why should i be interested.
    simply don't want to become another passenger of that myspace whoretrain. and if you received the add request from me, it means that i'm interested in your music or personality or both.

«Manes» news: ok, everything is recorded, mixed and released. i sang for them one song, and have no idea, what came out of it. you can already order the album "How the world came to an end" and find out yourself, what those crazy freaks did this time (:

sorry, if forgot someone (:yes, i'm a sonic maniac. i'm listening everything, but still havent found the ideal sound for my ears. it definately should be a certain result of cross-polination: celtic + progressive + doom + trip + classical + jazz (%
