Music, year by year
Music I have spent a lot of time with, from 2000 onwards. Some records belong to one period; others keep coming back.
The early years are reconstructed from memory. The order within 2005–2012 is approximate: these artists overlapped. From 2017, my Spotify year-end playlists help fill in the picture.
Places & records follows the geography. This is the timeline.

Dates refer to periods of listening, not album releases. The early timeline comes from memory; the 2017–2025 selection draws on the first 60 available tracks in each annual Spotify playlist, with a few personal additions. It is a selection, not a ranking by listening hours.
