DeZ Vylenz's Interests
|
| General | Film, Martial Arts/Kung Fu, Taoism, Tantra, comics/graphic novels, Art, music, writing, beautiful (and I don't mean plastic shopping mall aesthetics) strong Women who can kick some ass in this time of mediocrity, the esoteric, the mystical and mythical, and too many things that you can't put a label on. Life in general, throbbing with energy, flowing like lava bringing you to the unknown and darkest regions of the universe. | | Music | Heavy Rock, Dub, Reggae, Electronic, Expermimental, some Jazz-rock fusion or classical, Billy Cobham, Alphonse Mouzon, Isaac Hayes, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Metallica (1st 4 albums), Iron Maiden (1st 5 Albums, esp with Paul Di'Anno), Fantan Mojah, Lee Scratch Perry, Mad Professor, Augusto Pablo, Beenieman, Buju Banton, Wu-Tang Clan, Burning Spear, Massive Attack, Amon Tobin, too much to name | | Movies | Another difficult one.

Except some rare World Cup matches or good docus. Never home except to sleep or cook. + Them raasklaat diodes create an electromagnetic field that screws you up.

About me:
Writer-Director-Linguist-Martial Arts Choreographer-Streetwise Scientist-Explorer
No-nonsense, no time for bullshit&hypocrisy, but humour, action are necessary elements to live life to the full and get to a certain level of intensity.
Art, Fighting & SeX as expressions and explorations of energy, thoughts and ideas are what keeps me going. Exploring life to the fullest and transmitting that experience into film and writing, occasionally music.
Gotta think about this, I'm more extra-spective than intro. Bio is on www.shadowsnake.com.
Always on the move, so not always time to update or check the computer.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
People in the film and music industry, for potential collaborations or those generally interested in genuine artistic expressions, books, films, etc. No hypocrites.
