I'm an experimental music composer and freelance web developer. I just finished my Masters degree at UVic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend and I are traveling through Europe in the fall, and since we will be recent graduates, we are looking for budget-friendly options or options for which we can compensate in services rendered (see below). We're of course also interested in meeting people!

Interests

Music, art, books, food, the outdoors. Coffee and beer. Ich lerne auch Deutsch, und möchte Gespräche auf Deutsch haben.

Music, Movies, and Books

New concert music and experimental music, the more free types of jazz and improvisation, bluegrass and "folk," and some hardcore punk.

Recently getting into speculative fiction - just finished Dune, starting Karl Schroeder's Ventus. In an entirely different vein: Brian Massumi's Semblance and Event and Michel Serres's Variations on the Body were very influential for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I made my computer improvise bizarre music which people could join in as performers by controlling sounds through a website on their phones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer website help, music composition lessons, beginner to intermediate guitar or bass guitar lessons, and English lessons or proofreading.
