Hello. I am ThorLtd or Durk.

I study sound-design at the NPAC in Utrecht (NL) I make organic stuff. Sample instruments to make electronic pseudo acoustic music. I like to make graphic stuff in ps. (not very good at it though i'm afraid) sample lots of vynil and bad mp3's from the internet. Use X-noize toooó much due to bad mic's. It stil sounds nice though. I would like a ribbon mic or 2.
I am co-founder of Fant00m.org platform. Fant00m is a E-zine and platform that was started by 3 dudes from Rotterdam and The Hague. We release free mp3 EP's and write nice articles about contemporary art and music.
