I am a multi-faceted guy. I can be outspoken and goofy as well as quiet and contemplative. I talk way too much but I am a good listener as well. I prefer to really get to the heart of matters in conversation- as in, my response to "how ya doin?" is actually how I am doing and what is going on, rather than the standard "good".
Music is at the heart of my existence- yeah I love techno, but I listen to a lot of other music like jazz and some hip hop, rock, blues, funk, reggae, chill out, etc...
I played alto sax in an experimental noise band called noface. Now I play alongside Oliver as one half of kikuchiyo. I mix techno records from minimal jackin to the beatin trax, undulating melodies, and whatever moves me to dance behind the mixer. Currently I am promoting a club night in Minneapolis called Convergence (the last Friday of every month at the Dinkytowner) which features minimal, techno, house, experimental, eclectic chill music, and ...art! It's a labor of love... You can also catch me playing ambient, lounge, world music, downtempo, minimal, and house at TEMPLE Restaurant and Lounge at 12th and Harmon in downtown Minneapolis every Tuesday.
I also like to walk around unexplored and familiar places, ponder the profound and the mundane, draw, do graphic design, read books, magazines, and newspapers, learn about other cultures, and dance my ass off until I fall over.I was born in Manitowoc, WI, then lived in Franklin, TN (near Nashville) for 8 years (In those 8 years, no elements of southern culture rubbed off on me, thank goodness! ;-) before moving to Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago. Now I find myself in MPLS, and I love it up here. I spent 7 months living in Madrid, Spain and traveling Europe. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it definitely gave me a more worldly perspective. My Spanish improved too, but now I use all Castillian slang that nobody here uses...
