Dominic Florence
Personal
If
you wish to know detailed personal information about Dominic, you will
be sorely disappointed. He rarely, if ever, reveals his true feelings
to anyone. I know him better than any other person, yet I only catch
the occasional glimpse into his real thoughts.
It was incredibly difficult to even convince him to have a website; he
conceded that it may be beneficial in some remote respects, but he
requires that this site be simple and not a tool for
self-aggrandizement. Dominic also requests that I remain anonymous.
In truth, the best chance at understanding him is to hear Dominic speak
about music, read his essays, or listen to him perform. His passion
will sometimes override his reticence.
Dominic quite honestly does not mind if no one knows that he exists. It
is a shame since I consider him to possess truly singular abilities in
strength of mind and musicianship.
An interesting, though not quite surprising, facet of Dominic's persona
is that he rarely listens to western art music. He prefers Sonic Youth,
Black Sabbath, Portishead, Nirvana, The Mars Volta, Smashing Pumpkins,
Tool and Led Zeppelin. Above all else, he deems total silence to be
perfection.
Although he cherishes his privacy, some of Dominic's interests outside
music may be mentioned here: anime, driving cars, manga, video games
and Star Trek. As is the case with any of his pursuits, Dominic regards
himself to be nothing less than a master in each instance.
