I sit and think a lot about stuff like life, death, afterlife etc when I really should be concentrating on the here and now. But what can you do? I appreciate the company of a person that can sit in silence for an hour without the need to fill that silence with inane chatter. Sometimes so much more can be related when there is not a single word uttered. I'm prone to "zoning out" a lot as anyone who knows me will tell you.******************************************************** ****************************************************I recently completed a full time Sound Engineering and Music Technology course, achieving a Distinction & a Merit which landed me near the top of my class. I'm very interested in music technology and hope, in a few years to have a semi-pro studio set up.I now work for Ireland's National TV station, RTE as a TV Sound Operator on a part time basis. I'm well chuffed with the job as it's the reason I went to college. Hopefully it will eventually become a full time position, but for now, I'm more than happy to put in a few hours every week.I have been doing some live engineering recently and find it very rewarding. I've worked on several small intimate set ups aswell as larger gigs. I also work on the set up of larger events (O2 in the park/RDS shows) which I enjoy immensely.************************************************** **********************************************************I am hugely into photography and carry my camera with me as often as possible. I have just upgraded to a FUJI Finepix S9600 which is the serious fucking business!! I'm looking forward to taking her out! ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ ************************************************************ ************************************************I love music. It is my life. If I were made to choose between going blind or deaf, losing sight or sound, I would happily embrace the black knowing I would always have my music. I play guitar and have done for the last ten years or so. I fiddle with the bass, drums and I'm taking a healthy interest in the piano.****************************************************** ******************************************************I love to read. (Classic & Contemporary Horror, Fantasy, Sci Fi, History, Poetry). I've always been very interested in all things esoteric and have amassed (both bought and borrowed!) a well rounded collection of books on the subject, most of which are regularly re-read. Religions, cultures & ethos fascinate me and I'm at my happiest when I'm talking late into the night with someone who shares this interest. I used to write, but haven't put pen to paper in a long time. Maybe I will in the future, I don't know. ************************************************************ ************************************************I Produce and Co-Present a late night Extreme Metal and Rock show on Dublin City Anna Livia FM . We broadcast across Dublin on 103.2FM and worlwide on www.dublincityannaliviafm.com every Thursday from 22.00 until 23.00. You can visit our MYSPACE PAGE if you want to add your band.
