Myself and the Universe at large.That means a lot of things... Focus changes with the passing of time, and can change rapidly. For now, let's say: magick, music, figurative art in general and at the moment body art in particular, physics, dancing, movies [the really good ones fall under 'art', here I mean also the crappy but funny ones ;) ], science fiction tales, deutsch sprache, how to survive my job and grow a better (and richer) individual in the process.Since 'magick' could mean almost anything between Harry Potter and Julius Evola, here are people that form the core of my work: Crowley, A.O. Spare, K. Grant, M. Bertieaux, Zivorad Slavinsky, P.J. Carroll, R.A. Wilson, Grant Morrison, Orryelle...

The most satisfactory ways to fill my brain with sound are some of the branches of electronic music. Industrial from the beginning (end 70s, early 80s) still keeps an irresistible fascination for me. This is probably my favourite genre. More modern incarnations such as Electro and Future Pop are good, but I prefer to go with the hybrids of Industrial, EBM and Techno that are spreading on the dancefloors in the last years. Following this trend, I like also Trance and Hard House material; or sometimes Digital Hardcore and Speedcore. Beside electronics, I find very good time with some goth and some rock bands (let's call rock also what is usually too good to put into a narrow cathegory...) Final note: I am a total enthusiast of Beethoven: Sinf. V kicks your arse!
I will not fill a sheet with titles, there are tons and tons of fantastic movies, of all the genres and from all the ages. I like movies that make you wonder until the end where the hell the director is going to go; movies that put the gears of your brain in motion to guess who is the assassin; movies that make you idiotically laugh for 90 minutes without any apparent sense; movies that make you feel that you are grasping the future of humanity, or the past, or maybe its hearth; movies with gorgeous chicks in underwear; movies in which I see myself.
Movies, books and comic book are just different ways to tell a story. You have a story, you chose the medium that you prefer. So, see above for comments. (note that this also applies to painting, sculpture, music.... but those media are made of a non-linguistic, more syntetic symbolism)
