Informazioni generali
Chi sono
I'm a post doctoral researcher based at the University of York in the Department of Music and the Department of Archaeology. I am also a freelance composer and sound designer. I also do quite a bit of professional sound recording, and teach yoga! I read a lot, and like to keep healthy running, swimming and doing yoga. Right now I'm travelling in India for 2 months, from December to February 2016. Researching into Yoga and Indian culture, having fun, meeting people...
Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing
I'm interested in most things, and enjoy travelling and meeting new people from different cultures, and that is why I want to be a couchsurfing host - it's like travelling without leaving home!
Interessi
I read a lot of books, on lots of different subjects, from science to arts to politics etc. I'm passionate about yoga, and trained as a teacher in Rishikesh, India in 2014.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto
Composed a piece called Terrarium that involved a giant bubble housing two dancers and a 30 meter ring of ambisonic speakers and toured outdoors around the UK, being performed on cliff tops in Cornwall, London, and on the North York Moors.
Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa
A love of music and the arts, and a wide range of intellectual interests. I enjoy doing new creative projects and interesting things, which is fun to tell people about and so share and exchange ideas. I can also teach you yoga - I qualified as a teacher last year in India. I also have a piano, which I can play, although not very well at the moment because I never do any practice...
