Hello

About Me

I am a second year sound technology student at the University of Glamorgan in Wales. I hate the course but get on with it regardless. I live in a leaky house in Cardiff with 6 other weird and wonderful people. I play in a band called Stopmotion Men which takes up a lot of my time, but its worth it. I also make my own music, under the name Artemesia . Im originally from Tiverton in Devon, but now rarely visit my home town. Not a shame, it is an awful town, although it does have many great people in it. In Cardiff im usually found in my house as none of us have the money to go out, or gigging with the band. Occasionally we will find the pennys to go out, in which case we can usually be found at Metros for the cheap-drinks-leaky-ceiling-underground goodness. I have a job as the resident DJ at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cardiff, which is by far the coolest job I could ask for!

My Interests

Music, druming, guitar, my band, pro tools, reason, poi, devil sticks, festivals, gigs, free partys, generally having fun.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting

Music:

I like all sorts of music...I have always loved rock, but I also love some electronic music (breaks, trip-hop, electronica, breakcore, jungle etc). There has got to be some reggae and dub in there somewhere, and a bit of hip-hop (british, not american rap!). My favourite artists of the moment include: NIN, Muse, DJ Shadow, Smashing Pumpkins, Massive Attack, Tool, Aphex Twin, Dreadzone, Plump DJ's, Shitmat, King Tubby, Mogwai, RATM, Saul Williams, Coldcut, Sikth, Squarepusher, Amon Tobin, UNCLE, Bonobo, Mr Scruff, Cinematic Orchestra, Bong-ra, Mars Volta, Nightmares on wax. This is only a brief overview of the music I listen to as my favourite artists change from day to day.

Movies:

I like strange and interesting films, altho I do also like a good comedy or horror. I also like my films to be interestingly filmed and produced so they look a bit different to the average hollywood drivel that comes out. Tim Burton, Miyizaki, Darren Aronofsky, Quentin Tarantino, Chris Cunningham and David Lynch are all legends. Some of my favourite films include: Fight Club, Spirited Away, Nightmare Before Christmas, 21 Grams, Pie, Requiem For A Dream, Mulholland Drive, Natural Born Killers, Pulp Fiction, Big Fish, House Of A Thousand Corpses.

Coldcut ft Saul Williams - Mr Nichols

Aphex Twin - Ventolin

Bob Marley - Jammin (live)

Television:

TV? Dont watch that much TV as I dont have one here at uni but I like the Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Lost, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Later With Jools Holland, Tonight with Jonathon Ross.....cant think what else

Heroes:

Who needs them? Not many...people are people, why look up to them as heroes? No one is superhuman so anything that your 'hero' can do, you can do as well if you tried!
