Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i hadn't thought about doing this before, but I would like a new experience.

we had some couchsurfers at our place when i was living with my brazilian flatmate and it was really great. weird to think i hadn't thought about travelling like this before.

Music, Movies, and Books

after discovering the 2001 soundtrack LP in my parents music shelf as a kid got me hooked on atonal music from the start. I also love world music and to be honest music in general. there's is just too much good music in this world.

some names:
Jón Leifs // Carl Orff // Geirr Tveitt // György Ligeti // Krzystof Penderecki // Sergei Prokofiev // Dmitri Shostakovich // Wolfgang Rihm // Bernd Alois Zimmermann // James Horner // Shirley Walker // Jerry Goldsmith // John Williams // Maurice Jarre // Rachel Portman // Lili Boulanger // Toru Takemitsu // Akira Ifukube // Yes // Boards of Canada // Tan Dun // Zhao Jiping // Lukas Foss // Alan Hovhaness // Huun Huur Tu // Kongar Ol Ondar (and the list could be much much longer)

i don't watch that many movies at the moment. I like to watch them with people rather than being alone. documentaries are always welcome tho

bookwise I have a thing for soviet science fiction and fantastic tales in general.
