兴趣

I love the outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking, cycling, sailing and windsurfing. I also like to experience nature and urban environments through listening. I love music and art which take up a large amount of my time. I compose and perform as well as listen to as much new and live music as possible. Recently I have become very interested in creative coding which lead me to begin a blog called Code Poetry - Code artworks, inspired by zen poetry and haiku. Celebrating the simplicity and beauty that can be found in code. http://visualcodepoems.tumblr.com/
