Long have I dwelt on forums and social networks, mostly invisible and largely ignored, never able to find a niche for my thoughts, never able to make any real friends nor establish any sort of base of reflection of thoughts and ideas that would get any feedback. I never really associated this with being an aspie until recently, when I discovered this site, and investigated it, and now I feel like a fool.

I then created an account and observed many of the discussions that interested me, never really participating save for a few. I am willing to give it a chance, though I've never been able to relate to anyone on much before, so I have doubts. I have never truly felt part of anything before, ever. My interests have often kept me off to the side, and mostly hidden. Not that I have any real problem with this (among NTs, I'm thankful), it's just that I think there may be others like me who may share similar opinions, who are aspies, and can relate.

A brief summary of my interests would be music and recording music, mostly different forms of ambient, electronica and metal. I am very opinionated on music (well, highly opinionated in general), and I harbor a strong intolerance for some kinds of music, so it's not always an easy subject for discussion with anyone, but there you go. I play piano and drums and maintain a music project called Krowhaven, which is mostly experimental ambient. I have a myspace for it, for those who are curious.

I don't like simply listing my interests and preferences as if they were a mere list, so I'll just leave that as it is. I'd rather talk about it than simply writing a bland post with general information, I find the flow of a conversation much more agreeable...

Do you ever combine metal and electronica, techno beat over loud guitars? That can have interesting results.

Anyway, hi.

To WrongPlanet!! !

Greetings, and welcome to the WP community, fellow-traveler Judah.

Not really. It's all mostly separate. I have combined black metal and ambient, of which you get black ambient, which is an actual subgenre. I mostly do dark ambient which is basically using electronica and sampled sounds to create unsettling moods and cacophonic soundscapes. The closest thing I can think of combining metal and electronica is industrial metal, which I've never really tried before, mostly because it would require a full band. That I don't have. I'm also into 20s piano music when the mood takes me. I like classical as well, mostly Baroque-style, and I enjoy neo-classical guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen.

Most people aren't into the ambient thing but I find it a useful creative outlet.

Welcome here, Judah.

I like the music on your myspace. Some deep textures in there. Highly recommended.

Thank you. I think that's actually the first time someone said that.

You should put it on the WrongPlanet art and music forum. Give it a larger airing. I sometimes listen to stuff that goes on there and I dare say others do also.
