Someone asked me earlier what music genres I favoured, and in retrospection I gave a very juvenile answer. In general I pay little attention to genres, aside from the categorical purpose they serve.

I have recognize that I probably should care a little more. Hence why I have rewritten the list again:

  • Lo-fi, minimalist (argh I’m sure those aren’t the right terms for it)
  • Shoe gaze
  • Dream pop, dream anything
  • Ambient anything
  • Big band jazz, some contemporary jazz (have been trying to get into free form/bebop for a while now)
  • IDM ->
  • Earlier forms of dubstep, post-dub step

The prevalent common characteristic is ambient, long, drone-y notes and pretty little melodic harmonies. I need to break out of this, actually.

I dare not say classical just yet, that is a huge umbrella genre to be explored before I can even claim to like it. But I am getting there.

I bet I am going to read this in a few weeks time, delete it out of frustration after having realised how little I know of music, then write it again. Progress, I guess.

Oh and, fuck witch house.
