Ricochet

Born September 1989, close therefore to the Revolution storm, I really wnjoy considering myself a free spirit, least of all. Right now I find myself hoping that mood of mine, acting leisurely, artistically, bohemic, stranded and obscure, sensible as reaction and illustrative as motion, will not become eventually just a phase of life - though considerably I realize that change will occur-once more. Shortly, I'm the underdog without the underdog's charm, still I do see the pictures in different ways that, most of times, they are seen.

Indubitable is my connection with music, never being foreign with it: from childhood to its end and to the years; surely till the end of whenever. Mainly it is my sould flavor. But more concludently is my career, right now on its initiation steps.

Musician, pianist more precisely, is more a reality now that it was a dream upon beginnings. Classical music is what I play, study, understand and love. it's the most divine and beautiful "genre" (despicable name.

..) of music (and I say "period" towards all contradictions).

Besides music, I've discovered a great passion in literature and an essential, utmost interest in cluture, in a mind's elevated judgement and in the spirit of an artist, even above a human or a person. Progressive rock is definately not a hobby, but an identity, or audentity -as I like to name it-, along with the mentioned classical austerity. Above all of the modern genres, I have found this manifest as the one truly qualitative and artistic, truly in the real definitions of music emotions, comprehensive, refinely coherent and magically affirmative.

The other style with such a good mark would be jazz/blues/such, but surprisingly I've never found (hopefully yet) my passion of that. My connection with prog still feels recent timing, though it's about three-four years since no day passed without me listening to at least one such album. Concerning the vision, I can just as well be called close-minded.

I've resorted to no more than 50 artists (hopefully yet), most of them being radically definitory names (arguments are of no purpose), and don't have the intention to experience just in the name of a vaste knowledge. Never had. Nonetheless, I have the completeness principle, so from all the artists I have them (official) albums all.

That means, currently, over 1000 albums. Would follow here a very long speech about Klaus Schulze; decided not to. It is a simple as loving his music and his touch of art most.

In a quick movement of words, here are my likings; all unsubstantial but, individually, integrated. Personal comes progressive electronic, one of my first, one of my main, one of my most appropriate. Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Jarre, Vangelis, Eno are the referential names.

Besides, two main styles appear to be my prime motion: art rock, whose general features are indeed a keen chord to me; special gods are Van der Graaf and Hammill; King Crimson, Rush, Gentle, Fripp otherwise. symphonic , through its passion melody and its gentle wave; Genesis as best, Yes just fine, Focus more special, ELP very fragile overall; Renaissance when classic, fabulous; Camel, with its moments. Klautrock is an impulse, through Ash Ra Tempel/Ashra, Cosmic Jokers, Wegmuller, Golowin.

Neo is a reference, by its most important Marillion, and IQ. Psychedelic/Space through Floyd, Nektar and modern Porcupine Tree; Pink Floyd can just as well be my favourite of the giants. Experimental is an affinity, the Godspeed masters being a very special thing.

Moreover: Jethro Tull are fantastic; Peter Gabriel - a wonderful artist. Regarding my reviews, you may find them in the delicate moods of avoiding simplicity or concisiveness. I generally go thorough and point out from characters up to details, from context to emotion, from expression to impression.

All in a slight critic spirit, though I am not a critic in the rightful expression, but merely contemplate. I've also resorted to completing the discographies of my favourite artists Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, the best way I was able to..
