About Me:

I like turning cartwheels even though I've never actually been able to do one. Well, I don't know, goddam, I guess I hate cartwheels when it really comes down to it. Next question please. I do like the idea that art is the objectification of experience. I heard that once. This seems to be the case more so with music. It's such a way to connect, directly or indirectly with others, or hell, even with yourself. It doesn't seem possible to empathize enough. Oh, and I also love the way songs become some sort of auditory scrapbook that takes you back to exactly what you were feeling and who you thought you were at the time when each song burned its significance into your soul, so to speak, as if you become your old self again. And I like to think that Chopin, among others, still lives inside his music. He really got to the point where he could sound out his essence - he is captured in it. It's neat that we can possibly do that. Well, enough about me.
