So, Mendicant are in the finals of first cut. we are workin hard on the music... ;
Hi my name is Jakob, mums from Iceland and dads english so they gave me a funny name. some people call me 'Yak' -I don't mind, as long as you don't call me too early in the morning.
My job on this earth (at the moment) is to help get peoples creative ideas off the ground by linking people together. I believe that everyone has a magic and unique talent which sometimes doesn't get appriciated or harnessed, so I like to try to introduce people to others who might be able to inpire one another and get a project on the go.
I set up Antenna Studios in Crystal Palace as a place people can use as a centre for meeting and working on their projects, which are mainly music related but also many visual artists, photographers, designers, producers, dancers, film makers, skaters....you name it!
As well as running the studio business I play cello in a few bands which are kinda quirky and dark. I also write/record my own electro space songs on the computer.
My dream lifestyle if I was superman would be to develop wind farming technology, design club lighting and atmospheric glows, be a park ranger in Iceland or Britain, fly one of those new moller sky cars, make a film about the world being run by computers, document haunted places, make scented rainbow candles and drink mulled wine, chant with other chanters, support a tour of the worlds best music venues worldwide, act on eastenders, own a bar, weld a car bonnet to something, decode alien signals and master talking to people without sounding like a total hippy.
I am also a certified PAT Tester (Portable Appliance Testing), so if anyone out there needs equipment testing under the British Standards legislation, get in touch! -I can test ANYTHING that plugs into a wall including IT systems and construction equipment.
