Hello, I'm André
My interests are of a wide scope and fluctuating, let me give you an impression:
I was acting in a Theater-Club for a long time and did ballet and tap dancing, while I was learning more about the foundations of mathematics out of interest.
Nowadays I'm getting more and more keen on playing Board-Games, learning more about different cultures and languages. I'm also being curious how our mind is working, trying to see the full richness and beauty of simple looking but complex systems and what us is setting apart from a simple computer.
Generally, it´s hard to describe myself - simply because my mood is alternating between really calm or even shy, and sometimes I'm quite excited and full of energy, however, I´m definitely 101% chaotic with a tendency to structures, enjoying anything that is new for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm rather listening to all kind of different styles of Metal, especially black or death metal. But I also enjoy some good kind of Rock and Punk Music or a variety of Indie Pop.
But that doesn't mean that I don't like other type of music. In my opinion, any kind of music has it's one beauty , so long people put real effort in it creating something from heart.

I really like well made movies. Especially, if they are critical or stimulate my thinking.
Some favourites of mine are Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, Blade Runner, Star Trek Series (the old one with Picard and Kirk), Baby Driver, 12 Years a Slave. As well as animes like Hikaru no Go.

Books allow me to travel in a other world and explore new worlds. Sadly I often have no time to read anymore. I'm reading non-fiction book as well as fiction books: I enjoyed reading for instance: Harry Potter, The Hobbit, The Mists of Avalon, A brief History of Time, 1984, Ghost in the Shell, One Piece, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or Fermats.
Currently I'm reading Gödel, Escher, Bach and Sherlock Holmes.
