About Me

CURRENT MISSION

• Preparing for the Art/Basel week in Miami where I will be co performing and exhibiting my work.

ABOUT ME

• Living and working in Berlin as a professional music teacher/Artist/photographer/recording artist.

• Happy to listen and take things in and think about it and get involved in discussion and engage in humour
and jollity.

PHILOSOPHY

• It varies according to each and every new experience that might have some kind of profound effect on me
and perhaps my mood at the time of questions regarding what I think and what my feelings are about a
given subject matter.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, quite a lot of things. Most strongly and affective was and still is the music that formed my foundation for a passion for music which was that of the early 70's from when I used to see it on TV as a very young child and later on that which was generally regarded as awful rebellious noise and even later on the things that this gave rise to. I formed a retrospective taste in music during my former years of discovery-i.e. a curiosity for 50's and 60's music.

Presently I am still continuing that discovery of many things musical.
