ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, a freelancer, a hipster and a hitch-hiker. The most important things for me are freedom and self-expression in any aspects of it.
I like discovering new things and I communicate with people easily enough.
I am quite a comfortable person to be with. Ain't got no serious health or mental problems as well as social, sexual or political prejudices or phobias, trying to be the most ethic to people I get in touch with
I play in a band Crimson Butterfly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't been here 4 a long time. Currently looking not just for couches, but for ideas of "cheap and strong" (as they say in Russia) trips, as well as for interesting communities and gatherings.
My wife and I often host people, but we rarely use this site,though...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My wife and I often host people - but not too often via CS though... We usually volunteer for hosting people during some musical and art festivals in our city.

Interests

Music - both listening and making, languages, creativity and self-expression, travelling (hitch-hiking in particular), subcultures, street fashion, bizarre modern art, freelance, free jazz, free hugs, legalize, creative commons.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything that's indie, psychedelic, gothic, and experimental in any kind. You'd better check out my last.fm: http://www.last.fm/user/skinny_kitty

I prefer independent author films and classical movies. Some of my favourite filmmakers are: David Lynch, Gus Van Sant, Lars von Trier, Park Chan-wook, Kim Ki-duk, Wong Kar-wai, Emir Kusturica, Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Federico Fellini, Jim Jarmusch, Peter Greenaway.

I prefer 20th century classics and contemporary literature. My all-time favs are Viktor Pelevin, Chuck Palaniuk, Charles Bukowski, Milorad Pavic, Patrick Süskind, and William Burroughs.
Of more classical authors I prefer Pushkin (nashe vsyo=), Bulgakov, Oscar Wilde, and Akutagawa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Russian or English. I can give you some skills in making electronic music and sound or video engineering. In particular, I can consult you in Ableton, FL Studio, and Adobe Premiere software. I would like to have some practical experience in live DJ'ning and VJ'ing. At the moment I am learning MAX/Msp software. Any help with it will be accepted with pleasure.
