My Interests

I play fretless bass, sing sometimes, miniature pianos, computers, electric and acoustic violin, turntables. I like to record things and mash them up. Its never very succesful.I play bass/sing/violin for Beauty on the Wireless. Puts me in a very good place.I've just finished a degree in rock music in birmingham, got me a 2.1! My future is a little uncertain right now, job hunting is no fun, specially with pink hair :SFree partys and friendly organised events keep me saine, you can't beat the feeling of the bass when you breath and the grass under your feet. I love removing myself from reality for a while and sharing the experience with my closest friends.Painting is good to. But also never particularly successfull

Music:

bass heavy lilting riffs, trashy passionate old skool/prog metal, delicate stumbling ambience, folk, grimey rave related shenanigans, glitch, bittersweet acoustic and candlelight, shoegaze, warp artists and electronicy beeps, beats and pieces, music that lends well to dancing with actions. T-Rex ride a white swan in the morning. Dance routine included big pants necessary, clothes opptional.

Movies:

Casshern, Garden state, Hudsucker Proxy, V for vendetta, Pans Labyrinth, clock work orange, matrix trilogy specially the 3rd, eternal sunshine, spirited away, princess mononoke, perfect blue, EXCEL SAGA!, Blood the last vampire, Dr. Strangelove, Sincity, Shawshank Redemption, Kill Bill 1+2, House of flying daggers, Lost in translation, Dancer in the dark, Pi, Eraserhead, being John Malkovich.......etc etc

Television:

I don't actually have a tele but i love stand up, anything that makes me laugh and feel a bit wrong at the same time. Black books, ross noble, bill bailey, dylan moran, peep show, young ones, the office and of course The Boosh!

Books:

David Shrigley. The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet (Lei has inspired!). I travel by train all the time so love books, whatever i can find from the huge charity shop in harlow or my aunts lend me. I love old books with notes in the front pages.

Heroes:

Pastorius. Maynard.
