About Me

In short, I'm this guy from England who sits around, makes music using whatever tools and instruments I have available to me and likes to make fancy web related things with computers.

I get paid to play with computers and act like I'm doing important things but I hope to eventually get some money and some confidence and go on some kind of interesting adventure. I've got a very long list of places I want to see however so it'll probably take a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet awesome people and I want to go to brilliant places.

There's an unbelievably long list of places I want to go to and at present Asia interests me in a big way - primarily China and the DPRK.

I also would love to see more of Europe, having honestly seen less of it than I would like to.

Interests

As far as music is concerned, I play piano / keyboards, guitar and bass to varying levels of awesomeness. Piano is particularly fantastic but really anything that enables me to make music I'm happy with. I primarily work with REAPER but Ableton has some kind of magical ability to make me creative.

Music in general is fantastic and if you have some fantastic music to share with me, let me know. Genre depends on my mood but in terms of what I make it's whatever best expresses myself.
