About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Be happy with life. Write good music (i’m a composer). Read interesting material, have interesting conversations, cook good food (love to cook!), enjoy speaking different languages. Aside from professional goals, i'd certainly like to travel outside of Europe. I'd like to go to asia. I bet China is super interesting, totally different to what i know..in a good way. I'd love to go to west Africa sometime. I bet Ghana and Mali are really fascinating. Probably also a cultural shock in a good way..

ABOUT ME

As i mentioned above, i’m a composer/musician/piano teacher. I think i’m pretty chilled out. Quite passionate i believe. Have taking a long break from couch surfing but am now getting back into it..

Music, Movies, and Books

Steve Reich, John Adams, Brad Meldhau, Coldplay, Indi-Folk Rock, and then tons of other stuff...i don't actually listen to too much music..i'm kind of mentally full with music a lot of the time..since i work in the field. I'm quite a big history buff...ancient history through to modern history, history of the earth, universe. I guess a (very) novice Physicist, enjoy youtube podcasts on the field. Otherwise...general education is something i like, helps me put other cultures into a perspective. Helps better understanding of other people. Um...movies...hm...i'm not sure why but i quite like the american mobster films. I seen them all quite a few times. Also like plenty of Arthaus films. Have a weird Lars von Trier fascination (weird because each of his films emotionally kills me..but i somehow keep on seeing each new one).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finishing a opera/music theater piece with a children's choir. Was difficult to write all the music, but was/is a interesting experience!
