CURRENT MISSION

strive for excellence

PHILOSOPHY

It's hard to describe it in several words here. But I like to discuss my way of seening life and universe with someone who has it's own opinion. I enjoy looking for absolut truth ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friends have signed before and they invited some people from around the world to visit Wroclaw. Mostly I was with them. I really enjoyed to get to know other peoples culture and the way they live in their countries. Every time I learned much from them. Now I signed too to experience it on my own, not just as a addition ;)

Interests

It's hard to describe in general what interest me most. I would say that it's an audio-visual art/development.
I'm a DJ/live performer from 2005. I enjoy electronic music, not only to listen to it, but also create my own tracks and mixes. I write my own programs for visualisations and music production/mixing. I spend time on reading about new technology and how can I use it in creative way. Augmented reality, camera tracking, programming microcontrolers, building instruments/effects/controlers, software DAWs and plugins - that's what interest me most.
In my free time I like to read books and watch movies (listed below). I try to be on as much parties/concerts as possible.
I was riding on a skateboard for a couple months, but now I don't have much time for that, so now it's rather casual pleasure :)
Oldschool Sneakers are also in my circle of interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did paraglider licence. It was unforgettable experience for me to fly on my own with glide. I recomend this to everyone!
Also a big thing for me was my first big party where I was playing live as a DJ. I was thrown on a deep water because I was listed as a top player there, so I had to do my best. I was so nervous but It was worth to do it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm quite familiar with Ableton and other DAWs, Synthesizers/audio effects/plugins are also not a terra incognita for me :) I could share my experience in developing audio-visual aplications and producing music.
I like to work on a program Processing and Pure Data, so if anybody is interested I could share my knowlege :)
