ABOUT ME

Hi there. This is me, Taliesin, better known as Francesco. Born in 1987, I've grown up and still living in Pietrasanta, a little town in Tuscany surrounded by hills and nearby the sea. I've always had my own ideals and thoughts about life, I am a pretty independent guy and I can't actually stand people who have to follow fashions and other's lines of thought just to feel accepted.

I am a student, actually on the third year of a course at Pisa uUniversity. I am following the "Informatics for the humanities" course, that will help me learn how to work on the web and with digital tools. I hope I'll become a good web-designer, a graphic designer or a good 3D modelist.

I am engaged with a beautiful girl, Denise (Wilya). She is everything to me, I couldn't want anything else by my life... The picture on the left has been taken on our journey in Ireland, a country we always wanted to sightsee and found absolutely awesome.

Musically speaking, I played the traditional guitar for like 5 years or so, I tried to learn how to play the fiddle and now I'm giving a try at singing... will I ever find my way?!?

As you could have understood I really love string instruments. My musical tastes are pretty various tho, I span from folk to metal, to indie, and alternative rock, usually mixing the genres... My favourite bands are Apocalyptica (metal band playing mainly with cellos), Damien Rice (folk indie, pretty emotive), Porno Riviste (italian punk rock band), Verdena (italian psychedelic rock band), The Fire (italian yet internationally known Rock band, their musical genre varies too much to be actually catalogued) and many others as Tool, Sonata Artica, SOAD, Social Distortion...

You can find me on Second Life as Taliesin Meiklejohn, both with Gwion or Taliesin self made avatars - well, actually I must thank Fog Dagger since she made a good 99% of the work on them, eheh...
