I have played keyboard seriously since July 2006, originally inspired by Sonata Arctica then by artists such as Dream Theater, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Symphony X and Ayreon.

I consider myself more a composer than a technical player, but I can play a lot of stuff as long it isn't insane shred or overly complex classical-style two-handed piano.

Favorite Lyric:

Morning comes too early and night-time falls too late, sometimes all I want to do is wait. The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today.

I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye, but sometimes all I want to do is cry. But I will raise a shelter to the sky, and here beneath this star tonight I'll lay.

And here beneath this star tonight, she will slowly yield the light as I awaken from the longest night.

Hey Oscar, thanks for adding me as a contact. It seems that we have a lot of influences in common. So if you need a 6 or 7 String, just give me call ;-) I like progressive stuff. Michael
