Music

I see myself suddenly on the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying no longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed for the symphony.
(Kate Bush)

How to describe what music means to me? I live and breathe it.

I was on a music class during comprehensive school and played the piano for ten years. I learned the compulsory musical theory courses and sang in a choir. Unfortunately I have to admit that both my voice and my memory have felt the lack of practice since the time when we had music every day at school.

As for listening to music, my tastes run wild. I can take it from classical to techno, from hit of the day to folk or alternative.

A few especially dear ones

• CMX: chaotic and brutal, sharp and ingenious, sometimes so unbelievably beautiful.
• Rammstein: hard and poetic horror.

• Gackt: a bishonen with the voice of an angel. *fangirl sigh*
