About Me

Daniel Cooper

I can't believe that you're knocking, knocking on my door. It's been so long, been so long. Colin Meloy/Jeff Mangum/Ben Gibbard impersonator. Existence and uniqueness of solutions. Pseudo-musician and music enthusiast. Scientist/Artist/Writer. Misanthrope. Always evolving. Surrounded by sybarites. I play guitar like I'm on stage. Student at Mcgill University in Physics and Physiology. Trying to figure out a way to keep my cat alive forever. The Perfervid Ratiocinator: Noetic and Pulchritudinous has been completed. See what I listen to.
I've taken pictures.
