CURRENT MISSION

To pick up practical skills, especially in building/making/growing, to create beautiful and useful things.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the garden of england and recieved a priveleged upbringing, a good education and a quiet neighbouhood. I then went to Uni in Huddersfield where my horizons were broadened. I am musical, thoughtful, energetic, happy. I ride my bike everywhere, and try to help others do the same. I love the countryside, and doing as many different things as i can. I play the guitar, and a bit of Sitar, and make all styles of music using Cubase SX.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we are all essentially the same, so there is no-one to be afraid of. and when you know - you know, theres no point in asking someone to explain it for you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Whatever anyone sincerely reccomends i will be happy to read/hear/watch. right now I highly reccomend the music of U. Srinivas, a Mandolin player in the Carnatic style of South India.

I play the guitar and love the blues/ragtime/folk. I have recently discovered electronic music appreciate it in its many forms, I love dancing to music, but it has to be fast enough!
I also play the Sitar, which has introduced me to the wonderful world of the South Asian arts (not just the music!)

I have recently read a book called "The never ending days of being dead" by Marcus Chown, which again i would recomend to anybody that hasnt done a degree in Quantum physics, but is interested in the questions surrounding it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

watched thunderstorms racing accross the fields of Northern France, one after another, whilst on a bike.
