Looks like there's been a few new followers so wanted to do another #introduction post. I'm Brandon, and I have a huge passion for #accessibility, #ScreenReaders, and #Tech as a whole. I also enjoy beta-testing software, and light gaming (think arcade style audio games). I am also a huge #TextToSpeech fan, and enjoy exploring all types of speech synthesizers, from voices like Vocalizer or RealSpeak, to Eloquence and others, as well as the latest advancements in AI text-to-speech. Outside of tech, I'm also interested in listening to music, both casually and to help relieve stress, and also enjoy talking and hanging out with friends. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

@BTyson Hi Brandon! You sound very interesting. We have similar interests in accessibility and text to speech (and the reverse too for me).

What kind of music do you vibe to? I love ambient and club music, among others (when getting medical imaging done, I always ask for classical music in the headphones).

@AncTreat5358 That's awesome! I absolutely love Enya music.

@BTyson Ah yes, her music is incredible.

@AncTreat5358 I also forgot to mention that I also love retro tech (20+ year old computers, old Braille technology, and so forth).

@BTyson Awesome! I think there is a hashtag of RetroComputing, if you didn't know about it already.

@AncTreat5358 Ooh nice, I'll have to check that out! What kind of classical music do you like?
Show threadWill 🏳️‍🌈May 25

@BTyson To be honest, I don't know much about it, except the sounds that I like. I really enjoy pieces with violins, flutes, harps, and the like. I love being taken on an aural journey.

Do you have any favorites?

@AncTreat5358 Particularly, the Enya music I listen to depends on my mood. I have basically all her albums, and they all portray something for different moods. So if I'm feeling happy, A Day Without Rain's good. Sad? Then it would probably be Shepherd Moons. There's others that cover all sorts of different moods in one album.

@BTyson Sounds lovely, Brandon. I'll have to re-immerse myself in her music, because what you describe sounds like a great soundscape of moods and emotions.
