#Introduction (1)

Hi - I've been on #Mastodon for over a year, but have just moved to this lovely instance.

#English born cishet man with a #European heart, I live in #Portsmouth with my family and #PetRats.

Non-partisan politically but tend to a liberal, #Green stance with strong emphasis on critical thinking. #Feminist and #LGBTQ ally.

Musically into #Vinyl records (mostly #Indie, #BritPop, #Prog, #CanterburyScene, #JazzFusion). Also play #BassGuitar, #Guitar and #Drums, but rusty on all.

#introduction

Hi, Emil here. I'm a lvl 30+ Tundra Wolf #furry roaming the European Continent. 🇪🇺 🐺 🏳️‍🌈

Formerly a musician, my main trade is electrical engineering (power engineering, energy systems, power electronics) as well as mathematics, and I've been known to make and post artworks and write from time to time. (I'll probably make an art account at some point).

I'm passionate about #mathematics #education (and more generally #STEM and adult education), as I've witnessed first-hand how many doors mathematical fluency opens.

Things I like:
- #books and #reading
- #jazz and #jazzfusion (but I like most any music that is good, from classical to country to hardcore punk)
- #philosophy (I think Žižek and Adorno are pretty neat)
- obscure #technology

Fuck Nazis. Be excellent to each other.

I've decided to #DumpSpotify, but I'm not sure who to move to as my #DigitalMusic provider. I can only afford one, want to keep most of my playlist content.

I guess I'm pretty mainstream within genres, #InstrumentalMetal #JazzFusion #Guitar, #Synthwave #shredwave #Joni #JoniMitchell #Zappa #Holdsworth #PaulSimon #U2 #AnimalsAsLeaders. I'm not niche, or if I like niche it's only discovered music. I'm happy to discover on a new platform!

Anyone got suggestions?

I'm steeping in Bitches Brew today: The original studio album; the sessions; and Bitches Brew live (at the Newport Jazz and Isle of Wight festivals).

A stroke of genius. He stopped being a jazz headliner and asked if he could instead open for rock bands such as Neil Young, Steve Miller, & Grateful Dead. And so people started calling his stuff Jazz-Rock, but it was actually more influenced by avant-garde composers such as Stockhausen. Sales *rocketed*.
