what kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to the music my girlfriend prefers, because I can discover a lot of things.
but to be more serious, I really love human voice. I like opera, religious songs;
for example the songs of the 11th century, 'les chants de l'ecstase'
(spiritual gregorian chanting). I also like singers because for me, the human
voice is the most emotional thing.
