Interests
I obiously have an intrest in music. Not only listening to it, but also making it. (I also have a background in piano btw,)I make electronic music on my computer with a program called Cakewalk-Project 5. I compose a variety of different sub-genres in this field of music. From Industrial, drum & bass, trip-hop, and ambient. Dark, yet you can groove to it. I hope to have some tracks up in the future. And, with that, a lost cherry page dedicated to my music.
I can also play the saxaphone and trumpet. Not easy to learn both of those instruments at once. but I can play about 10 songs on each. I can also do improvisational solos in and out of given keys. I usually play old rock and jazz numbers with those ones. And, I am adding them to my own music to give some of my tracks a lead and/or improve voice.
I have taken an intrest in physical fitness in recent years. I have a plan that I go on and off with, depending on the weather, busy schedule, and how I'm feeling. In it I do free weights that work all the muscles along with yoga-like streching before and after the workout routeen. I also try to bike for at least 30 minutes on those days. I also like to eat a low fat high citrus diet. Poltry and fish (haddock) also help. My favorite health dish is vegitable stir-fry with celery salt cooked in an olive oil.
