An avid music listener, guitarist and professional programmer, raised by classical musicians and interested in composing extreme avant-garde metal and classical. I highly cherish progressive bands that know what they're doing (A.K.A. Prog Snob). Other genres that I enjoy are Classical (mostly Romanticism and Modernism) and Jazz.
Favourite composers: Dmitri Shostakovich (absolute favourite, I recommend him to any metalhead interested in classical), Ludwig van Beethoven, Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, Alberto Ginastera, Gyorgy Ligeti, Gustav Mahler, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky, Frederic Chopin...
"A creative artist works on his next composition because he was not satisfied with his previous one." - Dmitri Shostakovich
