Drums: Simone “Simon” Carminati

People say that I’m a bit too verbose when I write, so I will try to be biref. Then everybody will say that I am too brief.

What I like (in no particular order):

• playing drums;
• meditate;
• asking myself questions;
• seeking for the truth;
• reading;
• writing music;
• walking.

What I dislike (from the most hated thing to the least):

• having something I dislike;
• being called “Simon” (I prefer “Simo”);
• the vacuum cleaner sound;
• feeling forced to attend a party;
• replying to e-mails, messages, chatting and texts;
• being late (and I am often late);
• talking about me (like now);
• not being able to express an intuition.

In my search for the Truth I cultivate a strong interest in spirituality, meditation, philosophy, psychology, esotericism, mysteries and the paranormal, but I do not follow any particular route or way of thought: I rather try to find my own personal way to the inner realization.

My favourite movies are: The Matrix, Peaceful Warrior and Cloud Atlas.

My favourite books are: “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment” (E. Tolle), “The Lord of the Rings” (J. R. R. Tolkien) and “The Alchemist” (P. Coelho).

I enjoy a lot playing metal music, but I rarely listen to it because I prefer relaxing with classical music or acoustic music.

I always have goals to reach and I’m often projected into the future even if I try as much as possible to focus on the present.

In a few words I’m full of inner conflicts and I try all the tome to achieve a balance between opposites. I don’t know if I’ll ever achieve inner peace: by now the only form of equilibrium I understood is the one about the rhythm, because it’s a perfect alternation between sound and silence… this is maybe why I love playing drums.
