About Me

This was intended as a Music profile but I took a wrong turn... Ah well, I barely record anything anyway. Besides, I prefer the transience of performing as an improvisor and situationist and the freedom allowed from using a variety of instrumentation and audio sources....yadda, yadda. Under this guise serendipity has allowed me to play with Krautrock luminaries: Faust and Damo Suzuki (ex-vocalist with CAN).
Many performances have been accompanied with film screenings . This fools people into enjoying the music. I play, for the large part, in a group called Mickel Mass ...
