Hello!

My name is Luke, and I am a musician/engineer/teacher from the United States.

In the US, I grew up in Vermont, and then lived in Chicago and Seattle for 4-5 years each. Since high school, I have played in many different bands. With music as a primary focus for the majority of my life, I received my Masters degree in Music Composition from University of Washington.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For my last year in the US, I lived at a co-op in Chicago with 7 other vibrant characters. Cooking food for each other and sharing our varied experiences were among everyone’s favorite things to do, and now I aim to extend this community building experience to my travels. I would love to make cocktails and pasta with some like-minded people and hear your stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently, I am developing a mobile app that connects to EEG sensors so you can use your brain to control generative music. So far, I’ve given demonstrations in Vietnam, Philippines, and Taiwan. If we meet up, you’re more than welcome to try it out!
