About Me

Hi there!

I'm a sound artist and conductor. My instruments are humans and computers, I do a lot of experiments. But I'm also able to play the piano. I work with choirs and write music for films.
You might say I'm rather chaotic, keeping order isn't exactly what I'm good at. But I'm not messy.
I have a lot to give back to the CS community, cause I received a lot from them.
I like to think and talk. My conversations can sometimes easily get very philosophical. But I'm a very emotional person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet new people from all over the world, make new friends, share stories & experiences, get new impressions and input...and as I said, I received so much, so I wish to give back something.

Interests

Music (of course). Cooking (!!!). Films.
Thinking and talking. Telling stories of life.
Walking around, getting lost, and finding interesting places.
Clubbing, Pubs, Bars.
Coffee(!!!!!) I don´t mean to be arrogant. But my espresso really must be the best in whole Berlin. Ok, maybe in the whole district of Gesundbrunnen. :)
