About Me

Squarepusher - The Exploding PsychologyI've been a drummer most of my life. I like to play all kinds of drums: african drums and percussion, latin percussion, East indian percussion, jazz, rock, metal, blues... just about anything. Politicly I'd call myself a libertarian = hippy with a handgun. I enjoy a good discussion or an all-out re-enlightenment of a closed mind.

Control

Community of Strangers
