music, chocolate, cheese, dreams, music, kneadable erasers, art-- high, low & outsider-, good beer, good company, red wine, gumball machines, music, reading, people-watching, thriftstore record-hunting, massages, brain-stretching, driving aimlessly through the park (ahem), and also music.
............i used to be in a carefully ghetto-rigged experimental electronic band called 9-volt haunted house............i am mostly formerly 1/3 of a drone-based minimalist psychedelia outfit called colorforms. (http://www.colorforms.net)
i also perform solo & collaborative electro-acoustic improvisations at the drop of a hat, and will get around to getting some recorded solo music up here very soon .
"The new humanity will be universal, and it will have the artist's attitude, that of the musician; that is, it will recognize that the immense value and beauty of the human being lies precisely in the fact that each individual belongs to two realms, simultaneously, that of nature and that of the spirit." - Thomas Mann
