About Me

I started playing the piano when i was 9. Cried my ass of for it and got what i wanted...eventually entered the conservatory for classical piano, but discovered in my second year already that it was not my kind of thing. Worked with different tango's groups (especially music from Piazzolla), had a interactive project with dance, video and music (MONG!). Now the miniband that i started (THE CRAPPY MINI BAND) is getting a mini tiny little bit bigger, so im moving it up to its own myspace... WWW.MYSPACE.COM/CRAPPYMINIBANDNow what you hear on myspace are improvisations by MONG! (minus 1): with Andrew Claes (on ewi, providing the beats), Juan Carlos Bonifaz (marimba, melodica, conga, clockenspiel...) and me (Toypiano, effects, melodica and synths) and a new impro and song with The Crappy Mini Band... also another impro with Giovanni Di Domenico (rhodes and effects) and me on piano...
