I'm a musician (drums, percussion, piano, electronics and whatever strikes me as an instrument or musical device)/composer/engineer/producer, started playing drums and piano at an early age, subsequently exposed to the formative influences of the late eighties, worked mainly as a drummer for several years, discovered the fantastic realms of percussion and electronics which led to assembling a collection of instruments as well as a beautiful recording facility, now writing out in the clear the pieces that have long been haunting me...moving towards the center focussing my musical obsessions and finding a language...currently on the lookout for a voice to travel with me - (...to be continued)
Having abandoned most other musical obligations in order to pursue this creative vision as intensely as possible I am still enjoying a long standing collaboration with my favourite diva and soulmate Mona Mur, on whose side I have been fiercely and enthusiastically struggling for textures, atmospheres, sounds, beats, structures and discipline ;-) for the last couple of centuries as it seems. For details on this and some of the audible harvest please check Mona's profile (see friends section below).
I Can Hardly Wait ****************** Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day... Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly Three times again today, is no surprise Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!
