CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Cascadian-canadian; musician. I love music. I'd like to travel the world and discover the hand of each culture in shaping it. Bright, colourful things excite me. I love both technology and environmental sustainability.

PHILOSOPHY

Give back what you take! Use your gifts to the benefit of the earth.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read India Divided by Vandana Shiva!
As far as music goes, at the moment I'm into Bjork, Amon Tobin, Bat for Lashes, and things in a generally foreward-looking vein.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First moments in India... Arrived in Mumbai as the sun was rising.

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, and it never ceases to amaze me. I think it offers a viable way of living a modern lifestyle in the midst of nature, with relatively little environmental impact. Eco-density all the way! Living in Tokyo had a profound effect on me, which is something I've realized in retrospect. It was too much to take in while I was there, but I think it rooted in me an interest in eastern values (or maybe just values other than those I grew up with.) So thank goodness for that. Now, I live in London, England, and it has been a puzzling experience. I will admit that the multiculturalism and generally incredible tolerance is something to behold, but I find the social standards and the sheer size of the city can be quite flattening. I'm sure in a few years I'll realize more clearly how it has affected me. But by that time, I hope to be somewhere else entirely, and just as confused! Here's to puzzles and wonderment!
