Hi. My name is Master Harpuia. Except it isn't really, because that would be stupid. What I should really have said was that my username is Master Harpuia. As it happens, my real name is Phil.

Oh, well.

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes. Here is a picture of the real Master Harpuia. [[1]]

I support evolutionism, and believe that our high carbon dioxide emissions pose a great threat to our planet, not only because of global warming, but also because carbon dioxide, when dissolved in water, can form an acid that can kill many forms of marine life, amongst other things.

I'm into rock, heavy metal, braindance/IDM and downtempo electronic music. Fave bands are Nirvana, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, System of a Down, Plaid and Boards of Canada. Warp Records is a cool music label.

I speak English, Spanish and French, and I'm learning Japanese.

Currently working on: Super-Hard Mode on Wario Land 4, and fixing my Harvard Mini Colour TV Game (from 1978!).

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe.
