My Interests

MUSIC.... traveling.... never sitting still for too long.... I'm really an introspective journyeman...lol... Each year seems to bring constant change..i never know what I'm going to be involved with.... I just kind of float from interest to interest and when i grow tired of it, I move on, except music... that's the only constant, because it really acts as a soundtrack to everything that i involve myself with.

I'd like to meet:

Star gazers, soul searchers, visionaries and idealists...

Music:

Music is my soul and my soul is music.... All things Electronic..... I could sit here and name every DJ that I love, but lets just keep it to genres... Trance (Uplifting/Epic, Vocal, Anthem), Prog. (Atmospheric, Breaks, House, Deep n Dark), Breaks (Funky, Nu Skool, Florida), House (Circuit/Diva, Tribal, Deep and Melodic), Techno, and some Drumb and Bass (at times), and Electro... I love it all! So, if you know a DJ, Producer, or Live Artist that plays these various styles, thenI probably do/will/would like them....of course, there are too many people for me to try and mention here that have had even 1 track that I've liked, so, i leave it to you to decide!Also, I really owe much of my own musical evolution to Pink Floyd... Specifically the Roger Waters years and the David Gilmour years (70s, 80s, and 90s respectively). Also, most any good classic rock bands with pioneering guitar players like Gilmour, Page, Clapton, Townsend, Angus Young, Hendrix. Also, being a piano player, I'm a huge Elton John fan.. AMAZING live performer... I LOVE new age... Celtic music RULES... ambient beats with melodic swells and haunting vocals...I don't really limit myself with music, but for the past several years, I have pretty much lived in the Electronic Dance Music world... so, that's really all I'm up to serious speed on, BUT alternative rock sometimes catches my ear with bands such as Keane, the Killers, Scissor Sisters, The White Stripes, Cold Play....real innovators with a really genuine, alternative sound. Oh, and I really really love Garbage. Radiohead is nice as well... I really don't ever listen to mainstream radio....
I am an Indie Rocker!
I am in it for the love of the music...
And I couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
I'm all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
I may not have the fame and glory, but I have complete control of my career. What Kind of Rocker Are You?
