ABOUT ME

- Music is my first passion, natural science is probably my 2nd, (though atm politics/social science/humanities are all gaining).

- I'm not exactly shy, but I am introverted at times. I'm an excellent conversationalist when opposite an extrovert. I love to listen and respond. I'm about as close to non-judgmental as I can imagine.

- I do a lot of completely improvised music, often using loops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3Yzj-kriwc, https://soundcloud.com/moes-cafe

- I used to teach an intensive musical theater workshop for kids a few times a year, something I truly love. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgY6SMvtDic&feature=related

- I'm also a science enthusiast with a huge interest, maybe even obsession, with better understanding the natural world through science (particularly astrophysics, evolutionary biology, and neurology). More generally, I love the scientific method itself, and the way the scientific community exchanges information in open and honest debate. 

- Old blog - I blogged pretty regularly my first year in Berlin (2007-2008), mostly as a kind of running letter home to family and friends. http://kenny5277.wordpress.com/

Interests

Beyond my life in music and the arts:

I am infinitely passionate about understanding how the world works, and to that end I get extremely excited about science and the scientific process. I do my best to understand things like quantum mechanics, astrophysics, evolutionary biology, neurology...etc. because these are some of the fields that are striving to answer the biggest questions about who and what we are.

(ETA: I've just begun to explore web development, specifically Ruby on Rails)

I am also endlessly excited by meeting new people who are outside of my own cultural experience. I love listening to and learning from different perspectives.

I also like to drink.
