Microscopic soundwaves are distorting my reality...

About Me



There is no me, nor you, only everything...

My Interests

Code??? must use code...dammit....no binaural frequencies...make waves..no one can see me...when it ends i see you....too much information...sounds panning bounce off walls...i see forms but cant find them...magnets revolve, polarity switch...can sound not exist? they will see..like laws of physics...just before time stops...cant help collapsing....only the beggining will tell...like drops of water...frequency decay...at random intervals...pigmented truth projected...of subatomical souls...that are simply..not there....

I am generally interested in: MUSIC, Traveling, Cultures, DJ'ng, Video Production, Modern Art, Philosophy, Psychology, Religions, Acoustics, Rune Magic Lucid Dreams, Astral Projection, Synaesthesia, Psychedelic Drugs, Artificial Intelligence , The Universe, Telekinesis, Nutrition, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Fixing Stuff, Organizing Events/Parties/Gigs ( The Synergy Project / Folktronica / Future Music ), Making a difference, Inspiring others to "switch on", Abnormal Stuff, Abnormal People, and invainly trying to make sense of this world...

Synergy is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.

Synergy strives to create an optimistic approach in raising awareness on the many crucial issues affecting our world today. The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations supported by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, WWF, Greenpeace, Arc, Campaign Against Climate Change and many more.
In a society which generally perceives clubbing as a form of escapism associated with values of transgression, Synergy re-invents the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’, awareness raising tool. Although Synergy has a vibrant cross-generational and multi cultural following it aims to target primarily today’s youth with its inspiring message, an audience that might otherwise be reluctant to receive, respect, and incorporate such information, in particular when proposed by conventional sources.
Now in its 5th year running and with a wealth of experience and depth the Synergy Project continues to inspire people from all walks of life to re-evaluate their views on club culture and beyond…

Folktronica is a new concept I just started in London, it will be a series of events aimed at promoting all those beautiful dimensions of sound that seem to remain in the underground of music and I personally feel need much more attention.

Genres like Folkronica / Nugazer / Post-Rock / Nu-Jazz / Fusion / Glitch / IDM / Glitch-Hop / Minimal / Avantgarde etc.

This is the best music out there really =)

The next Folktronica event is still TBC =)

***
And this is my most recent project =)

Nu-School Hippies in collaboration with Archangel Breaks presents the first edition of a new concept event to explore some of the most cutting edge musical dimensions occurring within the electronic music scene today.
The NSH Room will gather live bands, producers & DJ’s exploring cross-overs between Psy-breaks & Nu-School Breaks / Dub n’ Breakz and Electro.
The Alternative Room will take off with DubStep acts and evolve into nocturnal Minimal / Progressive beats towards the later hours.
The production will be presented by the Pixel Addicts (The Synergy Project / Twisted Records events), with in house vjs Inside-us-all showing why they were voted number 6th best Vj crew in the World [2006 DJ magazine].

Music:

Always had a strong passion for music, and being lucky enough to grow up traveling around the world i seem to have picked up a very broad appreciation for sounds of all sorts. I always stayed away from the commercial side of things, never liked mtv or the radio, i felt the underground to have more exiting, fresh, and clever sounds, so lots of my time is spent searching for more and more unknown music...

all together I listen to:
Jazz, Nu-jazz/Fusion, Post Rock, Shoegazer, Nugaze, Folktronica, Acid Jazz, Old Rock, Alternative/indie Rock, Ethno, Breaks, PsyBreaks, Electro, TechFunk, Big Beat, Ambient, Jungle/Drum n' Bass, Glitch-Hop, Blues, Classical, Alternative Punk, Downtempo/Illibient, Abstract Hip Hop, Turntableism, Electro, IDM/Glitch, Noise/Industrial, Grunge, Metal, R n' B, Reggae, Dub, Ska, DubStep,Deep/Tech House,Psychedelic/Progressive Trance/Goa, Psy-Dub,Psy-Ambient, Techno, Trip Hop, Instrumental Avantguarde stuff, anything with the word minimal before it, and I guess any other form of music I might have missed except for all that Pop stuff which for reasons still unknown to me most people on the planet listen to...
