About Me

I’m Kurt – also known as Peff

I'm an electronic music freak. I'm always taking things apart, and sometimes manage to reassemble them without ending up with spare parts. When I was two-years-old, I had this record player and I wanted to find out where the sound was coming from, so I took it apart. It was still plugged-in, and I learned about electricity - the hard way. I'm still curious about sound and electronics, and I've learned how to avoid electrocution (usually).

Anywho, you can find out more and download the songs by visiting my website: peff.com
