Music
Music is a fundamental part of who I am, shaping and inspiring me. I see music as a means to journey within oneself, to create and to explore. During my upbringing and teenage years, I was exposed to a wide range of musical styles, with a particular emphasis on classical, piano, and jazz music.
As the years unfolded in London, the UK electronic music scene intricately enriched my musical core. During my university days, I developed a keen passion for a subgenre of Jungle music, known as "Drum and Bass". The energetic pace of 174 beats per minute was a constant companion, keeping me invigorated through the challenges university, but most importantly, life.
As my time at university drew to a close, so too did the student lifestyle, paving the way for the onset of my professional career and the exploration of my true passions. With this transition, I swiftly adopted a lifestyle marked by tidiness, thankfulness and organisation. While Drum and Bass still evokes my Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, I found myself drawn to the intricacies of patterns (not to mistake with routine), the art of organisation, and, most importantly, a spark for creativity.
This brought me to my current phase, minimal/RoMinimal house music. This sub-subgenre of electronic music captivates me with the intricate complexity inherent in its musical composition. The manner in which an abundance of synthesisers, basslines, and delicate chords can conjure such a profound emotional resonance is truly remarkable. Owing to the minimalist nature of this subgenre, I now find myself savouring even the most nuanced alterations in rhythm, timbre, or synthesis, transforming each track into a veritable masterpiece and a conduit for introspective exploration of my thoughts and ideas.
Since increasing my appreciation, I started collecting vinyls from small labels, like Berg Audio, in France, Micronica in Romania or Bondage Music in Berlin.
