"Without music, life would be a mistake." Most of us would echo the sentiments of Nietzsche, regarding music and the impact (emotional, spiritual & for those who love heavy metal even physical) it can have on us and I am no different. We enter into this world of high fidelity because our love of music has opened the door.


My own passage into the world of high fidelity began when dad took me along to a hi-fi show in Melbourne (“as a second pair of ears”). Dad was looking for a new pair of speakers so you can imagine the excitement he must have been feeling. Some of that may have rubbed off onto me, but the main thing I remember was that music could sound really good (sorry dad), as in really really good. I don’t remember any brands, I don’t remember any of the displays, I simply remember sitting in the middle of the room with my eyes closed listening. The vendor told dad “this kid has really good ears,” dad told me that the vendor was sucking up hoping to get a sale. I remember thinking that it had nothing to do with my ears and everything to do with the music coming out. Looking back, that was one of many moments I’d been bitten by the love bug.

Outside of music (and I still enjoy a good tinkle on the ivories), I love a good red wine, enjoy photography but hate getting up early so go figure, and when on those odd days I still feel young, enjoy pretending I can play basketball. I also love travelling and experience new cultures. I have been fortunate to have travelled a bit already. Looking forward to more!


Hope to meet plenty of other like-minded 'music-crazies' along the way.
