Music

I don't really have a favourite music genre and enjoy any composition if it affects my emotions. I think that there are artists in all musical areas who reached the highest levels of quality in their work, so it doesn't really matter for me in what style they write. Some of my favourite bands and artists include Kasabian, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jil, Moby, Alt-J and Gessafelstein. They all have some sense of purpose to their works, wether it is an obvious message to the audience (e.g. Another Brick In The Wall) or a way they express their thoughts and feelings through the sound (e.g. Viol).























Pink Floyd 1960s



I also like the music videos of these artists, especially those of Alt-J and Jil who asked for help from amateur, independent filmmakers and ended up with amazing results. Unfortunately, I didn't see any of these groups live, only prototypes of them made of admiring musicians. I own their albums online, but didn't purchase any physical, hardware copies of their songs, as do many fans who buy discs and record readers. 























The first Jil's music video was directed by Anton Tammi, an aspiring filmmaker 

All of these performers are world famous and have websites with all the information about themselves. All the sites are creatively designed and turn the audience's focus to the music rather than to the artists themselves. Humility is one of the things I like and respect the most about these songwriters, while many celebrities try to stay in the centre of attention these individuals present their work first. 



















Alt-J's website doesn't have much information on the band itself
