Default Hi there, fellow music lovers!

I'm generally not a big fan of forums and originally registered here because of one specific recommendation I was seeking out, but there is so much interesting stuff going on here and so many nice and knowledgeable people, that I think I'll keep hanging around.

Music is a huge part of my life. I do make some music myself, but that is just a minor hobby and I'm mostly a listener and all about finding new, exciting and beautiful music.

My tastes are pretty diverse, although I wouldn't say I like everything.
I like a lot of so-called experimental and avantgarde music, although those labels are somewhat meaningless. My tastes in this field encompass a lot of really noisy and chaotic stuff, as well as meticulously but weirdly structured music.
I also like progressive rock, mostly avantprog and zeuhl and the prog classics from the late sixties and seventies, but a lot of other and newer prog as well.
I like jazz, mostly free jazz, but also a bit of the more traditional jazz, fusion etc.
I like some early blues.
I like krautrock, some post rock and a little psychedelic and space rock now and then.
I enjoy some "exotic" music, especially from Japan, Mongolia, Tuva, Pakistan, Java, Ethiopia, India and several other parts of the world.
I like some post punk, new wave, no wave, mostly the eccentric kind.
I like classical music, the older, as well as modern classical.
I also like hip-hop, although there aren't that many artists I truly enjoy.
Some IDM/breakcore can be nice too, although my love for it faded over the years.

I don't particularly like metal, indie rock, alternative rock, grunge, punk, reggae, hard rock, singer-songwriter music, soul, gospel, funk, country, techno, although there are exceptions in almost all of the cases.

I'm generally open-minded and am thankful for recommendations.
I also consider myself to know a lot about music and like to help people out.

My main languages are russian and german. I also know a little french and spanish.
I am actually glad if people correct me, since my english is good, but certainly not flawless, so feel free to point my mistakes out.

As you see I sometimes write more than necessary so I'll stop now.

There are so many, but if I had to keep it as brief as possible I'd say Can, most of the bands featuring Fred Frith as well as his solo work, Keiji Haino and his numerous projects, Pere Ubu and David Thomas' other bands, lots of stuff by John Zorn, Tatsuya Yoshida's huge output, Mats Gustafsson's numerous bands and solo efforts.
I'm having a bandcrush on Van Der Graaf Generator at the moment, as well as Hammill's solo stuff.
Also I am crazy about Marc-Andre Hamelin lately, mostly his etudes and him playing Charles-Valentin Alkan.
Still so much missing...
