Interests

As with most folks on Head-Fi, I enjoy music of all sorts, however I am more of a movie enthusiast.
I am an epic gamer, or at least I used to be. Used to prefer FPS games such as Counter Strike and Battlefield. Now my preference has become RPG games such as the Elder Scrolls and Witcher series. Have a Steam account with over 700 games.

I am also largely a movie enthusiast with a large BluRay collection and selection of over a thousand movies titles watched before I lost count about ten years ago. I am an accredited IMDB reviewer and have on occasionally served as a guest lecturer for film studies at our local university.

Music Preferences

I prefer a progressive sound, focused on emphasizing technical or lyrical mastery. To name some of my favorite artists so you are able to relate to their sound signatures:

Alt-J, Angel Olsen, Arcade Fire, Beck, Black Keys, Bring Me The Horizon, Chevelle, Daft Punk, Deftones, Dillinger Escape Plan, FKA Twigs, Florence & The Machine, Katatonia, Killswitch Engage, Lana Del Rey, Machine Head, Massive Attack, Mastodon, Meshuggah, Muse, Nine Inch Nails, Opeth, Queens Of The Stone Age, Radiohead, Red, Royal Blood, Run The Jewels, Silverchair, Tool, Underoath, White Stripes.

I have extensive knowledge about the culture of music and have previously, as a hobby, studied music history and appreciation, including the emphasis of music classification. Hopefully this same enthusiasm will spur over into audio quality.

Used to be part of a band, so am no stranger to music equipment and production, however, the band was terrible, as was our equipment.
