Dislike these Styles and musical qualities: Beat, Heavy Metal, Keltia, Noise/Industrial/Urban, Mainstream/Accessible/Pop, Blues, New Age
Musical styles or qualities that I do not like: Various pseudo-avant-garde creations, to music for followers, ranging from a disheartened absolutist attachment to the various genres of the past, to an attitude of experimentation at all costs, often ending up in expediency. / / / The simple, round and usual form (Progressive Rock or not): Hammered drums, cheesy/crying/strident vocals, plastic keyboards and masturbation on the guitars! All these to privilege the aesthetic virtuosity, round, tonal and amorphous. /// ,...,...,...
Occupation(s): I'm student of management computer science.
Other musical activities: I´m a moderator of an excellent forum of Progressive Rock (the best one in Portuguese language - www.soundchaser.com.br) and a reviewer of many albums and articles about Progressive Rock. I'm writing a book in Portuguese about Progressive Rock, but it still doesn't have a name. I'm a member of the Progressive Portugal - Cultural Association (PP-AC). I'm participating in a lot of e-mail groups about Progressive Rock (Prog-Luso, Progressive Portugal, Avant-Brasil, etc). ,,,,,
Hobbies / obsessions: I'm not obsessive or fanatic about anything - this word takes us to some kind of a blind following almost without criticism. Everything is accepted, without questionating it. Im an enthusiast that interrogates, questions, selects and looks for Quality (hypothetical)....... Art! Avant-Garde! Tradition! Music! Emotional intelligence! Cinema! Literature! Photograph! To think! Aquariofily! Divergent thoughts! Musical Theories! Like the buy and to look for original Cds and dislike of mp3 format, ,,,,
