Current playlist

1. Oceansize - Frames
Alternative rock with a progressive edge. Epic build-ups, great dynamics, hypnotic drum-work, tense atmosphere. Those guys get better and better with each album

2. Itzhak Perlman - Paganini's 24 Caprices for solo violin
Paganini, the protoypical virtuoso. Decades ahead of his time in terms of technical ability. Great performances by Perlman. You get the feeling that the Devil himself is playing ;)

3. Thrice - The Alchemy Index: Fire & Water
Post-Hardcore band with creative outbreakes that surpass everything else in this genre. Very intense, harsh vocals and aggressiveness alternate with beautiful soundscapes and calm atmosphere.

4. Arvo Pärt - Orient Occident and Lamentate
One of my favorite classic composers. I just recently got into his choral works. Hauntingly beautiful and kinda frightening at the same time. Actualy, this is my first encounter with classic choral work in general. I like to continuously explore all kinds of genres and types of music ;)
