The Dark Knight Rises
:
Hope. Every man, who has rotted here, over the centuries, has looked up to the light, and imagined climbing to freedom. So simple. So easy. And, like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned that there can be no true despair without hope.
it could, should, would eventually connect me to or with somebody. A hooman bean. But, it is all so, so tiresome. Nobody exerts themself, nobody wills to. What Ian Brady says of hoi polloi in The Gates of Janus
, I agree with wholly. I'd thought it myself. Yet he had more successful relationships. Or at least the one. The lucky fucker. I am a pillar of iron, looming over the both ever-rotting and ever-replenishing 'human' detritus, constituting the 99.99% (if not, say, 10 times less?) of humankind.
Who am I? Many things, one thing, nothing. Or people. Pigeonholing me will fail⸻,
tldr; I'm a thoroughly embittered, disappointed, disheartened, despondent person lonesomely going through the motions with help of the arts, who likes to learn and do, so long as there is a decent goal. (Maybe?)
I used to listen to and through music, obsessively. 80–95% of everything I'd listened to from 2012 to 2021 was logged at/with last.fm. If curious: 2.5e5 scrobbles, to use the its term; all achieved (It's still strange that people compete(d) to artificially scrobble the most.) natty, of course. I used to be on the cutting edge of the a few scenes: djent, technical deathcore, technical progressive metal, artsy-fartsy shred and guitar wankery. And I was seriously getting into jazz past few years, familiarizing myself, like I'd done with rock/metal, with the major and minor developments, and genre creators and expanders, or at least I'd like to have thought so. Both were processes, both were abruptly cut short. I also used to compose, used to enjoy composing, and listening. Used to...
I like highly technical, (needlessly?) intricate, and or brutal music. Broadly this involves the genres: metal, jazz, and classical; more narrowly: technical deathcore, bebop, baroque. I like abstract, 'modern' (or whatever contemporary goes for these days...), or (successfully) experimental shit like: Brian Ferneyhough (Who has a family name only a mother can utter.), Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji, Cecil Taylor, Milton Babbitt, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jacob Collier, and many, many (Not good with names, so don't hold it against me for not giving example when I can think of music and or album art instead.) other, ofter lesser knowns, scrounged up and around from Bandcamp. I have, or at least had, crystallized, acrid opinions on most, if not all, subgenres of the three aforementioned, and I readily and avariciously consoomed anything and everything, to form and opinion, broaden musical horizons. Some day I may get back to music fully. Some day...
I have also interest in a few areas of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and software engineering programming. Music, literature, knowledge/learning one could say are my passions. First was. I can't well describe myself or talk about myself in general, so I shan't attempt any further. Who and what I am should be elucidated from what's written. I don't (try to) define nor constrain myself, who and what I am through my relation to others, objects, ideas, etc. I just am. If You don't get me and would like to, let me know me.
