AS just is. I will not say I am proud of it because I am aware that most people would see it as a disorder and as such I try to hide that information. However, I am not exactly ashamed of it either, it is a part of who I am and I would not remove it if given the choice. For me AS is neither a source of pride nor of shame, AS just is.

Composer- I am also a composer. What type of music do you compose?


I compose classical music - you?


I have influences from all over the place. My style would be best described as modern classical.
The last orchestra piece I wrote has flavours of Copland, Ives, Bartok, Stravinsky and of course ME :).
The composer who I am listening to the most at present is Beethoven. I have had a 4-month obsession with the final movement of the Eroica symphony.
If your avatar is anything to go by, you like Mozart... who else do you listen to?

Haha, well asumed :)

I also love hearing polyphonic works by Bach, Pachelbel and Palestrina, Beethovens symphonies and piano concerts, Per Nørgård ( Danish composer - Am going to visit him personally in the Autumn 8) ) and other modern composers,

When I said, I composed classical, I didnt mean just Mozart Classical. My symphony is romantique. And I've composed as well as classical music atonal music too. I just concider my style as changing.

Regards
