Alex's Interests

General

I love music (both making it and listening to a fairly wide variety), making art (mostly 3D and drawn space art), writing, and worldbuilding! (Often worldbuilding is considered merely a part of the process of writing or art or something else, but I like to do it for its own sake). As I'm sure is clear, I'm a very creative person! If I didn't do something creative in a day I think I'd explode or something lol.

Because I'm obsessed with space, most of what I'm interested in either involves it somehow or is related, or is a branch from something that is. For instance, I play video games, and most of what I play are space games. However, one major exception to that is that I play a lot of Minecraft! The mega-bases I build in that game are nothing to sneeze at.

Among the many aspects of space one can be interested in, I'm quite interested in astrophysics, specifically! I run various kinda of astrophysical simulations on a fairly regular basis for fun, so perhaps one day I'll be able to make a career of doing that.

I'm also quite interested in horror of various kinds, especially of the scifi variety. I love listening to narrations of SCP articles or creepypastas or the like.

Music

I love both listening to music and making it myself.

The music I make is best described as sci-fi soundtrack music, as it otherwise ranges in genre from ambient to electronic to orchestral, and occasionally rock or metal, but generally it has a sci-fi or space theme.

As for the music I listen to, there's lots:

Genres:
Hard rock, space/future rock, goth rock, ambient/post rock, stoner rock (not a stoner myself but I can enjoy the music lol), doom metal, drone metal, black metal (especially atmospheric, particularly of the space-themed variety), basically anything industrial (of the electronic variety, or rock, metal, even ambient despite how rare that is), gothic metal, EBM, synth metal, darksynth, synthwave, darkwave, dark ambient, dungeon synth, winter synth

Bands:
Starset, Three Days Grace, Soul Extract, Thriving Ivory, Broken Iris, Trees of Eternity, Draconian, Owl, Mosquito, The Morendoes, Eurynome, Keygen Church, Hollywood Burns, Master Boot Record, The Algorithm, Circle of Dust, Darkstronaut, Scandroid, Celldweller, Thousand Foot Krutch, Skillet, Linkin Park, I-Human, Tortuga, The Lost Sun, Windveill, Mesarthim

I'll continue listing more later!

Alex's Blurbs

About me:

I'm Alex, a 25-year-old guy from Texas who is absolutely obsessed with outer space. I've been a space nerd since I was a child, and perhaps it was always meant to be, because I have permanent night vision. I have an eye condition called aniridia, which is the lack of an iris, the part of the eye that adjusts to compensate for different levels of light. This basically gives me unusually good but also permanent night vision (meaning my eyes can't adjust to brighter light). This makes daytime extremely bright to me, and nighttime far more comfortable. So perhaps it was always meant to be that I would be fascinated by the endless night beyond our little world.

I wear many, many "hats", so to speak, over my life I've become an artist, music-maker, sound designer, writer, worldbuilder, gamer, sci-fi fan, and many other things! I've also dabbled in photography, voice acting, and filmmaking and I'd like to try doing those more!

I'm a college student, looking to get an Associate of Science degree, which I'm very close to graduating with! After that I'm not sure what I'll be doing, as I have a lot of options that seem equally viable.

Who I'd like to meet:

People with the same or similar interests to me!

Your page is so cool!! I don't think I've met someone as excited about Astrophysics as my favorite professor (who sort of got me into it), what sort of simulations are you running? I'm not super informed about the subject but I remember learning a lot about star clusters from mentioned professor !!
