My hobbies

What I do in the free time and for fun

Music

Since 2021 I have been playing the guitar as an amateur and then in 2023 I decided to take lessons. While playing the guitar is my passion I also enjoying making music on my PC under the stage name of Tiasmat.

I have three different guitars:

  • 1980s Cimar SG, which I got from my father and I restored to its former glory
  • Early 2000s Maverick guitar, with a Floyd-Rose Bridge which I am in love with
  • Epiphone Les Paul Slash Standard 2008 model, which I got at a fair thanks to my girlfriend and another friend

I also have Blackstar ID:Core V3 20 Watts amplifier, good eneough to make some noise in my home studio.

For recording I am using my old gaming PC from 2016 alongside a Focusrite 2i2, a Launchkey Mini MK3 and a Launchpad PRO MK1.

Gaming

When I have some time, I also love to play video games, both single and multi-player.

I usally play on an Xbox Series X and PC but when I have access to one I also game on Playstation. I do not like mobile games at all

I really like immersive games with deep storylines like The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 but, since I do not have much time lately, I began to enjoy more immediate and short ones like fighting games; my favourite one is Mortal Kombat 11 and my favourite characters are the ninjas Scorpion and Kitana.

3D Art

In the past I used to do 3D art using DAZ Studio and other 3D rendering techniques and programs.

Unfortunately I do not have time to pursue this anymore as my hobbies shifted towards music and keeeping up with the advancements in the 3D world is quite challengeing for me
