I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

NOISE + LIGHT = LIFE, surely ?? (._ .) ( ._.)?? (._. ) ( ._ .) ??life? it’s never enough, but it’s all we get my friend, & life’s to be lived. from features writing to documentary programmes, into arts & music management, indie A+R, then work in local & eu government around civil rights & later consultancy in equality & diversity, i tried to respond creatively to the changes in my life. as in all lives, there were plenty: suicides, separation, opportunity to examine the ebbs & flows.currently i photograph, play records & write copy, collaborating across genres & within collectives. i want a culturally-rich, low-impact existence this century. i want a digitised, nomadic, transient existence. ‘The art of the future will be the overthrow of situations or nothing,’ Guy Debord 1952. i live in bohemian shipcote, midway between the park & the gallery, on the southside of the river, close to the cultural centres of a regenerated Newcastle-Gateshead.guess it's your turn now? ;)..

My Interests

good company, good conversation & good food; love, light & laughter; open, honest, adult communication; the movement beyond consumer culture; the nature; the neurotransmission; 5htp; tantra, tattoos & 45s; the angels, the wolves & the 1%:..

I'd like to meet:

lotus-eaters, sensualists, darknesstravellers, 23's; creatives, communicatives, cultural acceleratives; folks, freaks & fiends cyborging the body politic. vive les mutants...

Music:

collectin' records taught me everything i never needed to know.. if love is the soundtrack to life, then music is everything else. i play gothic jazz, new-wave psych & metabolic alchemy. mostly 45s. audio archaeology or record nerdery? there's playlists with clicks & clips in blogs
