Well, this is my first post here, so I'll try to introduce myself, although I don't think I'm as clever in doing it as I'd like to
So, the world calls me Stefano, I was spawned in Rome (Italy) and I've been consuming the poor oxygen in the air of this city for nineteen years... Oh, I forgot: I'm mad... mad for music!!!
I love listening to tons of cds and I always try to get lots of new ones
I can't say (without forgetting something or doing some mistakes) which my favourite genres are, but I'll try to explain: in this times I generally go crazy for extreme but intelligent metal music (so grind and similars are not my passions, although sometimes I love playing them
), thus I love bands like Cynic, Atheist, Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, At the Gates, Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad and Mr.Townsend's projects, Dillinger E.P., and so on... the list could be endless!
Though I'm fond of and absorb many different kinds of music: Radiohead (especially the latest two albums, extreme and intelligent!), Sonic Youth, Tricky (great trip-hop artist!), Weird Al Yankovic (!!!), The Cure, Joy Division, just to write some names.
As a totally-music-maniac, my person couldn't be unable (or maybe I am indeed!
) to play an instrument, so I think I know a bit where and how to beat with a pair of sticks and a couple of pedals if I'm sitting in front of a drumset, and where tu put my fingers on a guitar neck. I play in a metalcore band in Rome, My Hide, but I also want and try to give a shape (and not only a shape) to the thousands ideas that freely grow and reproduce in my sick brain.
As well I don't dislike reading, but my spare time is not enough for everything: I love William Gibson (though so far I've read only Neuromancer), maybe Tolkien, Lovecraft, Science Essays (I like very much Fritjof Capra), 19th Century Literature and obviously Italian contemporary writers.
Ok, I've just noticed my mind is not as fresh as it was 10 minutes ago (damned flu!), I'm writing too much and in a way more sophisticated than my English allows me to do (I hope I've been clear indeed!), so I have to go.
See Ya!
P.S. I don't know how often I'll post here since Physics is a hard subject to study, and University is hard as well, but I'll try to infest this forum as much I can... it seems interesting
