    Hi guys! Just decided to join :slight_smile:
    I'm Rik, 27 and from the Yoo Kay. I'm a music producer; I work with a young autistic lad; and I am studying counselling at college.

    Username: "Moodlighter" because I like and possess a number of sensory mood lights (gadgets that glow, colour-phase and sparkle, creating nice ambience).

    Hope to talk to some brillo people here.

    How are you all? Care to tell me things about you?

    Hi, I'm really young (13) and currently in school. I discovered myself as a lesbian or bisexual or pansexual (not sure) 'bout a year ago. I recently discovered this site yesterday and decided to join. Fairly new myself. Nice to meet y'all. XD

    Thanks guys! Is everyone in their teens here? Seems people are discovering their sexual orientationisms far younger these days.

    You're a music producer, work with an autistic lad AND you're studying counselling at college? Bloody hell Rik, you wanna leave some professions for the rest of us Brits :wink: Haha.

    And sadly, no, we aren't all in our teens. Although I wish I was because hangovers were not nearly as bad back then...

    Welcome :slight_smile:

    To that I respond: you can never have too much music.
    And there are plenty of people needing support. Like you, with your hangover *cures you*. I'm a doctor too.... nah, kidding. :slight_smile:

    Thank you.

    And "back then"??? You're only 22 lol.

    Hello and Welcome to EC!!

    I'm not a teenager now, but I joined here when I was 18. We have members here that are older, not many hang out in the welcome lounge though.

    Hey mate,
    I've only just realised/admitted what I have been my whole life, this year... strange being one of the few older ones... Dont really know where to begin now at my age!

    I'm also into music producing.. well I've been slacking a few years, but I have every intention to go back to it. What kinda music do you produce?

    Srslwtf - just begin where it feels natural.

    Awesome you are into music prod. Electronic, ambient, chilled breakbeats and house is my kinda stuff. How about you?

    Nice! Started off into hardcore/drum&bass back when I was a wee little raver... then moved more into deep house/tech/breaks/etc.

    Nowadays I listen to literally anything.. even the occasional pop song :icon_redf . I used to be all 'that stuff has no skill to it'.. but then I realised, there is a tremendous amount of skill in making something so simple, so catchy! I truly admire all forms of music now, and want to learn from everything. I listen to non-electronic music too, but in terms of producing it's alot easier to work in the electronic domain when you don't have a studio full of instruments/mics/etc!

    Couldn't agree more, and if I tried, my arms would fall off.

    I have guilty pleasures in music that I do not feel even remotely guilty about. I am proud to say I have a CHEESE playlist on my iTunes consisting of Aqua, Fast Food Rockers, Macarena, Kylie, Spice Girls etc. All music is good.
    I also enjoy classical, rock, jazz and more. The more open the mind, the more it can create.

    We should talk more, fella :slight_smile:

    Do you have an interest in lava lamps? Or anything like that? I'm sure you heard of the artist James Turrell? What about neon? Are you synesthetic?
