the echo that is love
music is a passion of mine. i believe that music and life are inseparable.
right now:
I'm fascinated by Byzantine chant and hymns right now. On the more modern front, I'm getting into the Eels and Elastica; as always, I'm loving Ben Folds Five.
i listen to all types of music, from medieval to jazz to showtunes.
some "popular" musicians that i love:
Tori Amos
The Cure
Sarah McLachlan
Fiona Apple
Jeff Buckley
Nine Inch Nails
Smashing Pumpkins
Depeche Mode
Black Tape for a Blue Girl
Ani Difranco
Ben Folds Five

the list goes on and on.
my favorite album of all time is Boys for Pele by Tori Amos. it's a remarkable work of art and holds a special place in my heart. i started listening to Tori during a big transition in my life, and BFP is an album for every mood; i never get sick of it.
my favorite Broadway show is Les Miserables. it's also the first show i saw.
my favorite composer is Claude Debussy, and my favorite pieces are "La Fille avec Cheveux de Lin" and "La Cathedrale Engloutie." I also love Maurice Ravel. I love most music from the romantic period. i'm a big 20th century fan, too. Antonin Dvorak and Bela Bartok are two of my favorites.
as for jazz, i adore Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughn.
as I said, i believe that music and life are inseparable. music is certainly inseparable from my life: i've loved it for as long as i can remember. i live through my music, i express, i feel. i'm a passionate person because of music; likewise, my music is intense because i am passionate- i feel deeply. i always have some music on- i can't live without it. music is a subject that i won't shut up about if you get me started. :)
