I am here for Networking

About Me

I like old stuff.

I like travelling, accidental creations, layering sounds, playing with words and ideas.

I have many fleeting interests that wind up in my writing and my music.

I perform experimental music as kristal marimba lounge and write lyrics/record songs as part of the Interrobang Cartel.
