About Me


i'm a carbon-based molecular unit, creator of noise for a drowning girl (sometimes i make noise for other people), inventor of songs, architect of digital wave forms, co-matriarch of a label and can occasionally be found assuming the position of celluloid manipulator on the days where i feel like constructing my own matrix. i like drinking soy vanilla lattes from Starbucks, reading online encyclopedias and making paper boats on the subway out of the old chewing gum wrappers i find in my jean pockets. nervous habit. your turn.
