And another thing...

If it isn't obvious, I'm a big fan of gorgeous female vocals layers on top of sweeping, epic guitars and theatrical, classical-sounding keyboard lines.
Some proof: In Tenebris, Requiem In White/Mors Syphilitica, Mantus, some L'ame Immortelle.

Someday I'll make music like that.

I'm also a big fan of that.

Although I want to make music in which every song generally sounds like a looped sample of a distorted jackhammer played at slightly different speeds.

Done well? That shit can be amazing, too.
I have a surprisingly huge enjoyment range for music... I just don't listen to noise as much, because so much of it is... bad, thrown together instead of well-thought-out and intricate.

I could see that. Thankfully most of the noise I've been exposed to tends to be pretty good.

You introduced me to some of my favourite artists! [see: All About Eve, for one, ooh and Cranes too!] - I miss our mix-tape trading days.

are you familiar with a Philly band by the name of Torsion? if not, i can e-mail you a coupla MP3s. Kat, the lead singer, has an amazing set of pipes. :-]

I know the name but that's it. I'd love to hear 'em! You know the email ;)

[parkas-4-kids.livejournal.com]

Torsion is awesome. I have seen them a few times. Kat and her other bandmates are very cool. Here is a linkie to their myspace page:

They currently have four free downloads and will be guest djs on a Phila. area radio station tonight from 10-1. Info about that on their site, too.

me too! :)

though i'll never be able to afford keyboards so i'm just going to turn up the reverb really high on a guitar. ;D

Honestly, that's my favorite type of music. Faith and the Muse *is* my favorite band.

And it's cool to meet another Requiem In White fan. They *are* from right up the road from me. L'ame Immortelle, too. They're brilliant, regardless of what others say about them.
