About Me

I'm an engineer-pianist, 22 years of age, whose humble wish is to play the accordion on the streets of Europe.

Everything here may be considered as mere drafts, some midi programming that I did a few years back and no ensemble has yet to perform it for real.

(Gotta plug something more intuitive into my head next time an idea pops up!)

Post Rock, Noise, some J-Rock&Pop. I have a fondness for folk (gypsy music, klezmer, Tenhi) and electronics (D&B, Goa Trance, experimental, Bjork), but I'm a bit lost there. Always looking for new soundscapes to explore.
