Hail, and well met!

Hail, and well met, Steemit community!

My name is Ty Knight and I am new to the Steemit universe. I am really intrigued by Steemit, and know that I have a lot to learn about its community and people. My father, Jon Knight ( @jonknight ), has been on here for a time and he suggested that I check it out.

About me: I am 32, live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and work for the Human Services Department. My work sits at the center of a vortex where IT and public policy meet. I have an associates degree in anthropology (I am an anthro freak, especially fascinated by language and culture), and have just completed my bachelor's degree in organizational communication. The study of organizational communication is the study of how organizations are born, live, and die. I am floating around the idea of pursuing a graduate degree in public policy next.

I am an avid producer of music and spend nearly all of my free time engaged in that endeavor. Some of the things I produce are traditionally compositional in nature, and some are really far out heavy metal improv sessions. I will share my music here, and hope to meet and learn from lots of music producers and musicians along the way! I have been focusing my own efforts on epic, symphonic heavy metal and that is what I tend to listen to. I also really enjoy 90's country, alternative rock, and classical music. I'll jam nearly anything and my tastes cross the entire board. Beyond heavy metal, I'd like to create incidental music for movies, video games, and commercials.

I also write lots of poetry, which I may share here, as well. My Dad seems to be pretty fond of the writing community here, so I am excited to see what I can learn in that area, as well. Sometimes I also make graphic art, but that's less common.

I thought that I would share one of my compositions in this post as a kind of sonic introduction. I hope that you like it, and I look forward to getting to know you all. I'll also quote my details section from Facebook here, as it basically sums up my interests. Thanks for reading, and have a great day! :)

I play music and write poetry. I'm fascinated by physics and philosophy, anthropology and any form of art. I love history and culture, languages and symbols, religion, spirituality and mysticism, psychology and the foundations of belief, knowledge and understanding.

Above all, I am a student of humanity in all its diverse myriad of expression.
