About Me

I have been playing cello experimentally (or "intuitively" as my friend Scott puts it) for over eleven years. Long trills and drones, unconventional bow work, effects, etc. I have recently started a solo experimental ambient project and have begun to slowly collaborate with some of my *amazing* musician friends from all over the world ~ opportunities for which I am truly grateful. I believe that imagination is a divine gift and that we should all explore and embrace the mysteries within us, around us and above us...


My Interests

Music, cello, writing, painting, photography, synesthesia, automatism/symbolism, light and darkness, esoteric cosmology, quantum electrodynamics, plasma/electric cosmology, consciousness, Unified Theory, Anais Nin, Baudelaire, Baudelaire, Baudelaire...
You Are Surrealism
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. What Art Movement Are You?

(complete with text and images)
You Are...My Bloody Valentine.You tend to be a bit distant and reclusive. You are a leader as opposed to being a follower. You are a perfectionist and pay very close attention to detail. You have the tendency to be lazy, which sometimes get's in the way of you achieving whatever it is you may be trying to perfect. You don't really care about what's typically looked upon as the norm. You really don't care about what people think about you at all, or at least so you try and make it seem. You care most about just being yourself.
