I'm from Montréal's southwest. I used to study film in CEGEP (similar to college). Then I went on to study litterature at UQÀM, only to find out that music might be a better field for me. I have been playing guitar for a while, and I am currently in a band called Makhno with two of my friends (gritty semi-electronic noise-ish music with minimal percussions ''à la'' Moe Tucker/Bobby Gillespie). If I'm not doing anything ''musical'' or freezing my ass on my bike on my way for a rehearsal, I'm probaly somewhere in my basement taking stuff apart trying to fix it, putting pieces of wood together or in the kitchen cooking something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a good way to explore places from a local perspective.

Interests

Wandering through Montreal's decaying infrastructures, fiddling with synths,
collecting shady leaflets and flyers, going out for a beer in the park or an alley with my friends.
