About Me

If I had to choose I would rather become blind then to become deaf.
Music has been there for me for 16 years now and it's the thing I need to stay sane. There are times when I don't feel the urge of making music, but I always listen to something. I am sure that I will do some kind of sound when I am seventy, sitting in an old-people-home. I just won't let it go.
It's hard to describe my music in terms of styles, I just do what I feel like. But people tell me I have my own "sound", which makes me proud. While my remixes lately go more in the direction of club-compatible electro/house/brokenbeat stuff my own music has always been some blurry sonic mess one could try classify as "downtempo-hiphopish minimal sample-music with electronic gagdets built in" or something. I dunno.

Still on the lookout for "The Idea (tm)" which could fill an album, still trying around and in the process of learning, never being quite satisfied.
