About me: Well who am I anyway? To put it in the semi-simplest of terms, the (in)direct definitions: a Philosophy student in Amsterdam, originally from the deep southern banks of Limburg, interested in Art, Literature, Writing, History, Asia, Some minor left-wing oriented politics, AESTHETICS, The Transgressive, the Subversive, as my friends say very cliche Indie-Cultural responsible.

They're named Dewey, Lewey and Winnifred. And since they're to young to complain, we decided we don't care. They did flick us the finger a few times, but since they flicked them all at the same time, we're not sure if they're gifted or if they just closed their little fists.
I started collecting Tupperware dishes for them: I hope I'll have the full set by the time they're eight, so I can kick them out. They're with the three of them, they'll live...
Bedankt voor je verzoekje. Ik hoop dat je gisteren net zo hebt genoten in Paradiso als ik. Annie was te gek! En heel schattig dat ze zo overdonderd was door ons applaus.
Greetings Do excuse the 'spam', but I have three new songs up on the page, each from a different upcoming album.
One from the sleepers / hellmouth split, which will be out in the next few weeks on cassette from Marygarden Tapes.
One from the first full length Sleepers album (along with the other two 'untitled' songs), also coming out on Marygarden, but on CD.
One from the collaboration album between Sleepers and Jason "EVIL" Covelli, with all words and voice by Jason, and all sounds and editing from myself.
I have been working endlessly on new material for Sleepers, and I am very excited for the progression of this project. I believe it may have even taken over Bicycle Sighs' place as my 'main' project. A lot of the albums listed on the page are still seeking homes, but I do believe I will be able to maintain a solid and consistent output, as Sleepers has unlocked something deep inside of my mind.
I am, as always, still seeking out new collaborators, in aural, literary, and visual additions.
