About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet genuine, kind and interesting people on my travels.

ABOUT ME

27 year old musician. I like to travel, see what's left of the world's wild places, play the flute and unearth forgotten traditions.

I play flutes, recorders, and keyboards in lots of folk and generally experimental musical groups. I am also a specialist in the area of music and research that falls somewhere between the years 1280 and 1420 in the western European region, though I am working on extending that range to include all the way up to the early-classical period!
