I am 23 years old, male. I started building my home studio by myself when I was 16, using money I had saved up from work and a lot of my free time to figure it all out. I do all the composition, production, mixing and mastering myself. I can play many instruments poorly: guitar, piano, melodica, djembe, dizi, qudi, various percussion. Besides music my other biggest passions are Weiqi/Igo/Go, mountain biking, literature and writing.



I have been playing Go since January 2006, and am currently a 2 dan on KGS. I studied Go in Beijing, China with Liu Yuan Bo (2dan professional) during the Summer of 2007, but for the most part have taught myself. Please message me if you would like to play. I am happy to teach beginners.



All of my music is conceptual in that I begin each piece with a well defined motive/concept. My inspiration is primarily literary; every song I have created is sparked by language and not sound. This all sounds a bit pretentious doesnt it?



The images for the songs (except "Satie" and "Untitled") are sketches of mine.
