maybe two will weep.. at least five will laugh.. when the day's not gone.. when a life is done

About Me

Living in New York. Originally out of Poland (Bielsko Biala). Project manager and app dev by day, wanna be musician at other times.

Musically, I am part of a project called Gwynbleidd where I occasionally get to pour beer or vociferate the lack thereof. I am also the designated scapegoat in a project called Requiem Aeternam where I play bass guitar. In the future I'd love to write more theme-based complex music, and eventually try my hand in score-writing.

I love to travel, which I get to do thanks to my job, and hopefully soon enough thanks to music as well. Next year I hope to visit either Australia, Scandinavia or parts of South America, we'll see!

My Interests

music, travel, cultures

Music:

Metal! death/black/thrash/folk/doom/prog + more

Movies:

Epic/historical/fantasy. Anything that is based ona great concept a good story, where creativity storytelling is the driving force.

Television:

None.

Books:

I wish I had a lot of stuff to put here... I do enjoy George RR Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" saga quite a lot. I've just finished re-reading "The Legend" by Gemmel (for like the 5th time), and picked up "Guns, Germs and Steel - A short history of everyone in the last 13,000 years".

Heroes:

rumcajs, wodnik szuwarek, plastus, sasiedzi.
