About Me

I live in Edinburgh and am obsessed with the possibility that everyday entertainment technology could do more to raise human consciousness. At the moment I'm spending a great deal of time trying to make this happen, but to be honest I get more enjoyment out of watching free TV on the web. I made my profile with Fuck That Fancy Shit I Don't Have To Prove My Aesthetic Sensibilities To You With This Profile.

My Interests

The nervous system, thoughts and feelings, initiation, music production, sleep, teaching stuff, the rosicrucian mysteries, the strange peace of an endless workflow, release of base instincts in challenging scenarios, growing confidence, opportunities, more travel, going home, the beginning and end of worlds, transmission.

Music:

Presently: Not my own mixes over and over again, Battles, Califone, Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy, Broken Social Scene, Midlake, Lambchop, LCD Soundsystem.

Movies:

Nothing is better than Trailer Park Boys - The Movie.

Television:

I said, nothing is better than Trailer Park Boys.

Books:

Presently: Not much but books about sensory physiology, music and emotion, and the autistic spectrum.
