Alex and his Laptop

About Me

Alex formed sometime circa 1983 in a comfy, safe haven. Shortly after, he was ejected screaming into a harsh, cruel world and has been attempting to rediscover that sense of warmth and comfort ever since. His struggles manifest themselves in decidedly overactive electronic music, bass/guitar/things that make noise, weird installations and gizmos, and a tendancy to talk about himself in the third person to strangers.
