About Me

I'm a knight - a pain in the arse, daring and caring, a perfectionist and I'm perfectly imperfect - daydreamer, great lover, creative genius, always learning I won't give up the things that drive me.

My Interests

Watching interesting people, hanging out with some of them, being naughty with ONE of them. Film and music, lots of it. Being faithful. Being a geek but not an ass hole. Eating good food. Wearing nice clothes (when I can afford to). Traveling with my work, meeting people with an attitude that fits them. Other creative. Messing around writing music (but not always finishing) with my house mate. Writing with a vision in mind. Snow, going down it fast.

I'd like to meet:

People that add me because I know them or I know someone whom knows them (within the film and music worlds). Good music taste is highly desirable. I'm not really into collecting people for the sake of it. If you want to add me then please please mail me first. It is polite you know.Cool and unpretentious humans - peerer outters, not inners.

Music:



None of that cheap as chips stuff ta. Interesting one's, anyone? I can't be arsed with the cheesy stuff.I worked Within music for years (electronic music). My taste is diverse yet simple, good for the ears or not if it's weak then it means nothing to me. I worked at the record shop, FatCat (RIP) in covent garden for Four years. Before whilst and after, I spun around Europe and Produced some of the UK techno and house, not your typical BangBang (and hopefully you wouldn't think so either)-(Cheers London, Sheffield, Manchester, Scotland, Detroit, Germany, Chicago, France, Cali, NY, Finland et-al for all the life changing inspirations! ) I love all types of music. I'm a little cynical about it, and sometimes I can be hard when it comes to the crunch on when something is good or not. I believe it's about your position, where you are in life,,, your daily mood or weekly, however you like it.

Movies:

I'm a big fan of games sound! Some of which I consider could be scenes in a film or one's that actually interact like a film.
Films in no order: Anonioni, Fellini, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Lynch, Ridley Scott, Wong Kar-Wai, Tarkovsky, BBC wildlife, Matthew Barnies Cremaster(s), Brothers Grimm!!!! Dark Waters JaPan, Metropolis (JaPan, animated) , The Cherry Tree, 3 Colours (all three), Ring- Trilogy JaPan, Once Upon A Time In The West, Tron, Requiem For A Dream, Amores Perres, The Godfather, Le Haine, War stuff...there are so many...
