Hello peeps. I've been an SYL fan since late middle school/early high school, but never knew of Devin's other work until a few years ago after stumbling across DTB's MySpace. Just recently though I've been delving into his "OTHER" other projects like Biomech, Ziltoid, etc, and am still punching myself in the face for not listening sooner.
As far as general things about me go, I'm currently a guitar major in my sophomore year pursuing a career in audio production/recording/engineering. I've been strumming for 2 years, and I started drumming almost 8 years ago. I'm pretty much a guitar player trapped in a drummer's body, haha. I am by no means the best at either instrument, but I enjoy playing them nonetheless. I've been a huge metal fan since middle school. My taste has varied greatly since then, but now I'm into most of it's sub-genres, right now particularly tech death, prog, a little black (particularly the "dark ambient" stuff, as some would call it. For example, Agalloch), melodic death, and folk/viking metal. Some of my current favorites include Ensiferum, Obscura, Eluveitie, Finntroll, Meshuggah, Wintersun, Moonsorrow, Opeth, Tyr, Turisas, Necrophagist, Anata, Ayreon, Cynic, Death, Dream Theater, Kalmah, and many many more. Some of my favorite individual musicians include Devin (of course), Jari Maenpaa, Thomas Haake, Frederik Thordendal, Jeff Loomis, Heri Joensen, Mikael Akerfeldt, Petri Lindroos, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and a lot more. I'm also a bit of a classical n00b, but I really enjoy it's musical qualities (hey, at least I'm honest, right?). I'm taking classical guitar lessons at school and it's opening lots of creative doors for me...
Other than that, I fiddle around with bass and piano every now and then and am taking voice lessons. As I mentioned earlier, I'm pursuing a career in audio production, mainly because of Devin and a slew of others. I've only worked in a studio once for one song, but back then I had absolutely no idea what I was doing other than merely recording my song, haha. I'm still a bit n00bish in production, but I have a basic idea now about the hardware and what it does, as well as the software, but am by no means an expert.
I look forward to posting here! I'm glad I stumbled upon this here place!
