ABOUT ME

Hello there!
I'd say I'm a balanced mix of different things. Well, now you know a lot more about me, right ?! ;-)
No seriously, I'm a calm, openminded, honest, and cheerful guy. I can be very spontaneous although I'm a thoughtful person. I'm frequently told that I'm a dreamy person and indeed it often seems that I live on another planet. Which can be fun! And living alternatively here and on another planet comes up with loads of benefits such as:
- I've got supercool superpowers (I'll let you find out).
- I can breathe oxygen, but not only.
- When the sun turns into a supernova and then a blackhole, I'll have another planet with another sun (much younger) waiting for me.
- When I'm bored, with one, I can switch planet. How cool is that ?!
- There are many other ones but I won't list them all ;-)

Another thing about me is that I'm affected by Listophilia, which means that I love making lists and checking things on lists (but I've got to be careful so I don't end up making lists of things to check on other lists I've made)! You've just had an example with my previous list of living-on-another-planet benefits , and I'm sure you'll have other ones in what's next ;-) Oh, and I like making use of smileys too ^^ I also like absurd humour, and many other things I won't LIST here because there are just to many of them.

What else could I say ? Well, I don't know right now so if I have something to add I'll come back to this later on alright ?!

PHILOSOPHY

"Try and see!"
"The happier I am, the happier I can make people." Or is it the opposite ? Or both?! And virtous circle it is!
"Sometimes to find your way, you first need to get lost."
The most important things in my life would be (here comes another list):
- respect
- truth
- honesty
- sharing
- humour
- diversity
- creativity

Interests

I mainly play the electric guitar, the diatonic harmonica, a bit of drums, and a couple of other instruments. Basically, I love learning how to play new instruments. Everytime I see one, I want to try it! Currently, I'm learning how to play the bass clarinet. I play in a rock band called Bunch of Crows: http://www.myspace.com/bunchofcrows.
I like nature, wild places, animals, storms, sun, getting lost, to carefully plan things so I can get rid of the plan and improvise.

  • animals
  • singing
  • cooking
  • juggling
  • music
  • guitar
  • drums
  • sign language

Music, Movies, and Books

About my taste in music, I'd say I'm pretty open. I can like Irish Music, Jazz, Indus Rock, or any other style, as long as I find soul, creativity and truth in the music. Here are a couple of musicians names I like: Nosfell, Son Of Dave, Massive Attack, Bjork, Mari Boine, The Kills, Eric Satie, ...
About books, I must admit I don't read so much. But when I do, I mostly get into "skills learning books", like books about yoga, meditation, music mixing, psychology ...etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beeing born (I was actually born twice, I can explain it to you when we get to meet each other) ;-)

I'd say that recording in a music studio is one of the greatest things I've ever experienced so far. Very intense!
