CURRENT MISSION

...noticing that everywhere on this earth I'm a foreigner, but still everywhere at home...
Besides this - working on a documentary about Istanbul's underground music with a focus on gender diversity!!! bang!
Also composing, practicing and thinking how my musical future can be turned into something that makes changes in the society.

ABOUT ME

L'état - c`est moi. :P

PHILOSOPHY

I´m not sure about my philosophy, it changes often! Besides, I don´t even know if I ever followed a philosophy of life...It´s maybe kind of "to live in the here and now".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With much energy and from the heart - enjoy travelling with people, seeing their places and showing them around my town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some really nice experiences while showing the "neighbourhood" and another time while having fun with interesting people and tasting good french wine! On my Europe trip I´ll make a lot of other experiences, I suppose ---> supposition fulfilled. A lot of people opened their doors and presented their trust in the good in man.

Interests

Music, that´s what I love! To play the piano, saxophone and vibraphone/malletKAT. Here a video, if you want to know what is a vibraphone

...but also painting, photographing, dancing, learning languages although now a bit tired of it. Last passion is to make documentaries or to document realities in a creative way. Last year I've been on the Maidan and we collected some nice material. https://vimeo.com/159879305 (code is year of ukrainian independence)
BY THE WAY - I am looking for Russian and also other media artists who want to build up an installation and/or website project which is reflecting on European media. Especially I need somebody who is maybe even into the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, thinking about how did media shape our perception and polarized people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...fields full of red moon flowers and blue sky above all this!!!

...deep deep water below me while jumping from clips.

...trains without doors where you are so close to the passing nature of South Thailand.

...waking up in a double ( kind of princess) bed close to a blue swimming pool in France after a nice party.

...jamming on the saxophone with a person I didn't really know during a night on the street of Nan/Thailand.
