Well, i have a passion for music history and theory relating to all styles from all around the world. I often pass hours simply listening to music and taking in new sounds and ideas, be it a 50s sun record of Elvis, a recording of Tibetan Tai Chi Meditat bells, or some 1980s technical death metal, its all worthwhile to me!
