There is only one thing I started doing as a hobby more than 10 years ago and I still didn't tired of it: listening to music.
I can't say I'm a "true music lover" because I listen to same tracks over and over again, so I rarely discover new music, and I generally stick to some specific genres of electronic music (existence of not electronic music still does not bother me, any attempts to go beyond the boundaries have come to nothing). Over the years I tend to switch preferences in genres I enjoy the most, after a couple of years I may come back to the older music I listened to before, only dubstep stays with me all the time.
There is no full statistics or history of my playlist. Some 2019-2025+ stats from PC files and partially Spotify can be found on my Last.fm profile, but:
- sometimes Last.fm integration with Spotify randomly breaks, so until I notice and fix it scrobbles are not recorded
- I often listen to some mixes or livesets recordings, so they are not scrobbable
- some random tracks I listen only on YT, so they are not scrobbable too
- before I used to listen to music on my phone sometimes, but I didn't setup scrobbling here, so no mobile stats too
- for the past several years huge part of my playlist consist of nightcore/hands up singles and mixes on YT, so I have almost zero stats about nightcore/hands up genre
Also I spend time trying to make........... "combinations of sounds" in Ableton Mostly trying to mimic Hands Up and rarely similar genres, but no success for now, but I won't publicly share any results until I finally make something at least minimally acceptable.
Due to my attempts in music production I had started wanting to get a MIDI keyboard long time ago. After plenty of years I finally got it and now I'm using it to learn very slowly how to play on piano (using it for its intended purpose is not as convenient as I thought, for now it's easier for me to use mouse+keyboard as I did before).
