About Me

(photo by Kisane)
There's not much to say about me.
Music is the air I breathe.
I'm trying to enjoy being a human as much as possible and rejoice in miniature joys of life.
I usually write folkrockish songs on guitar but was caught a few times making acappella mix-ups, which is what you're likely to find available on my page for a start. Probably lots of covers too, I'm a coveraholic. Ukulele. And musical saw collaborations here and there (blame it all on Delicatessen ).
Since I have no technical approach of music whatsoever (was never taught solfege, I tried but was a lazy ass and eventually gave up), guts are the only direction I have. That's why I have a very simple, naive feeling to my songs. That's also the reason why my arrangements are chaotic and unsteady but for now I like them this way.
I'm collaborating/playing/singing/having fun in other bands, so if you wanna give 'em a shot...
KATZENJAMMER KABARETT Electro post-punkish pop from outer space. Nuff said.
BERLINER STRASSEN (the siamese coverband side of) BIENVENU ROTTERDAM Voice harmonies galore, there's not much on the page but be sure to catch a show sometime! We rock!
le CONNASSE CREW (reprazent)
Anyway, I hope I'll be able to meet good people here, not just checkoutmyband!!AWESOMEEE!!LOLZZZ!! spammers of sorts.
I hope I'll be able to draw real connections with musicians and creative people. The wider your network grows, the harder it is to keep in touch with each and everyone of you (God knows I'm trying hard, and sometimes it all really freaks me out).
I used to take a good lotta time before I took care of requests, because I wanted to check out every page. I was recently telling someone about how I would let friend requests pile up like comic books on my couch before I got into them thoroughly. Sadly, with the growing number of requests I'm not able to do that anymore. It makes me sad but you gotta be practical at some point (and my life doesn't revolve around Myspace). Still, if you feel like dropping a line you're more than welcome, even though I'm a bit awkward at times when it comes to writing to people (one could say that's part of the reasons why I write songs).
THANK YOU! ♥ (for listening, and reading all of that)
And now, for a word on politics: (couldn't find one with a French flag)
I edited my profile with your mom (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
