About Me

i play the violin in the elysian quartet and we like to play harsh ugly rasping sounds. i also play with Nancy Wallace, and the Memory Band, and they like to play much less ugly sounds. I play jazz viola in Mercury Prize nominated Basqiuat Strings... sometimes i volunteer at London zoo trying to stop small children feeding the monkeys bits of plastic and wotsits

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

wild mountain gorillas bill murray

Music:

ooooh, at the moment... lots of smog, hot chip, grandaddy, flaming lips, david bowie, outkast, bonnie prince billie, sparks, viking moses, player piano, leafcutter john, malcom middleton, lone pigeon, and i particularly love the strange improvised noises that are coming out of the elysian quartet at the moment. Obviously i'm biased slightly, being, as i am, in it.

Movies:

there is no greater film than Bladerunner The Directors Cut.Or A Life Aquatic. Or Primer.

Books:

kurt vonnegut, peter carey, john irving, philip roth, paul auster, joseph heller, margaret atwood, neil gaiman, graham greene, richard feynman, hunter.s.thompson, richard dawkins.. In fact have just finished The God Delusion and am now a fully fledged fundamentalist atheist. (it was always going to happen lets face it)

Heroes:

kurt vonnegut
