Interests:
My specific interests in creating and consuming music, photography, books, and movies are all illuminated further below. The common thread of my interest is that in everything I do comes a deep seated love of discovering new parts of, learning about, and tinkering with the world around me. I'm in love with subcultures and trends outside the mainstream. I love synthesis and deconstruction. I love the old, the new, and the new imbuing nostalgia for the old. I love the unique, especially in the often ignored nuances of the commonplace. I love multidimensionality and elegant simplicity. And, at the end of the day, I love to share fine whiskey, and the ocassional masterfully contructed cigar with friends.
Music:
This is just a quick overview of my interest in music. For more information, see the music section.
Instruments: Piano, drums/percussion, guitar, bass, a bit of harmonica, and some dabbling in saxophone
