About Me



My Interests

Sounds, film, dancing like a fiend, cooking, libraries, paying attention, learning (really), subtlety, the Wikipedia, and an unending and constantly mutating stream of brief obsessions with all manner of gorgeous idiotic things--slowly, I'm getting good at the good things in life.

I'd like to meet:

Tigers, butterflies, trains, kites, hummingbirds, sailboats, giraffes, ghosts, librarians, seahorses, honeybees, stars, collectors, gardeners, bakers, polarbears, kangaroos, mustangs, figs, trucks, bonfires, telescopes, dictionaries, LPs, coral, sketchbooks, brooks, moss, trouts, teacups, Frankenstein's monster, the tortoise, the hare, the little match girl, dogs, moths, birds, projectionists, owls, echoes, hedges, lillies, rugs, trumpets, flags, goldfish, sidewalks, attics, books, mice, the devil, le concorde, Belle, bicycles, floodwaters, snow angels, copyists, and the fox in the snow

Music:

guitars, drums, synthesizers, piano, drum machines, tambourines, amplifiers, microphones, feedback, filters, tape, organ, samplers, a mixing board, monitors, stage lights, cables, computers, hand claps (the soul clap), time, repetition with or without variation

Movies:

Super 16

Books:

I like them big and small

Heroes:

Henri Langlois
