Insert Witty Introduction Title Here :)

Extorris · 10-31-2012, 02:04 AM

Hello, everyone!

Basic stats about me:
-I love music (composition, production, mastering, and, of course, listening.)
-I'm a software engineer who specializes in 'Java to simulator' implementations with a knack for LSL.
-I'm a broad. Yep.
-I'm very sarcastic, which obviously doesn't go well with text, but once you get to know me, you'll realize that I'm a nice person with a weird sense humor.

Basic stats about me pertaining to music:
-I enjoy studying music theory in my spare time, and creating music.
-I play bass, guitar, piano, drums, alto sax, and banging on broken stuff to create unique sounds.
-I'm no musical genius by any means, but I do enjoy critiquing (with the knowledge I do posses) and giving/receiving constructive criticism and feedback.

As far as tastes go, it's all around the spectrum, but I do prefer metal and industrial (all subgenres included) most days. I have a disdain for country, but I do respect it in that it provides foundation for emotional reaction in regards to lyrical structure (a pretentious way of saying the lyrics are good).

I've been looking through these forums for a while, but only recently decided to finally make an account. I tend to keep to myself

Here's to finding a new hangout!

Don't keep to yourself; that's not what we're about here. Come out, say hi, get involved, make some friends...

Extorris · 10-31-2012, 07:42 AM

Well, obviously I shouldn't keep to myself, but I generally do. Wouldn't be a point in joining a social community if I didn't plan on breaking out of my shell, now.

Thanks for the ever so kind welcome, Trollheart

Welcome aboard Extorris! Who are some of your favorite artists?

Extorris · 10-31-2012, 08:05 AM

Omnium Gatherum, Cerebral Bore, Crysalys, Moonspell, Into Eternity, Destroy Destroy Destroy, Deadlock, etc etc - anything melodic and guttural. As far as Industrial goes; And One, Painbastard, KMFDM, OOMPH!, Agonoize, Flesh Field, P9, Grendel, Zeromancer, Garbage, Diary of Dreams, Diorama, Terrorfakt, etc. Like I said, I like a lot of stuff in these two genres and can never single anyone out no matter how hard I try, hehe.

I also like 80s pop, yep, and enjoy 90s R&B. Kill me now, but I did love rap before a midget obsessed with auto-tune and a soldier child killed it.

What kind of stuff do you like, Janszoon?

Damn. If it weren't for the fact that Janszoon is like fifty, I'd feel intimidated by his musical knowledge.

I'm fifty now? It's been a stressful year, but I didn't think it had aged me that much!
