Favourite bands

I love all kinds of music, especially new age. From Pink Floyd's moving electronics and Steve Roach's inspiring ambience, to the pure original piano tunes of Canada's Michael Jones and the sweet guitar ensembles of William Ackerman, music is cosmic. Also on the list are Suzanne Ciani, The Beatles, Vivaldi and Green Day.

Original neo-classical music and the crickets outside my window.

Me, myself and GAIA. Hahaha.
