First of all, I wont write about me in third person. This is me and I'm writing it. Many things can be said about me but I'll try to stick to the essential ones. I was born in 1978, I grew up and here I am now. Somewhere in between I discovered music and started playing with it. I was never much for lessons or other instructions. Instead I wanted to learn it by myself. It lead me to many dead ends and wrong turns but at least I learned where not to go. Sometimes that's even more important than knowing the right path. My musical journey has gone from when I at the age of 2 first discovered Beatles to hitting a much heavier death metal peak in my teens. After that it has gone softer and softer, deeper and deeper. Those I knew 15 years ago would probably not recognize me today. So this is where I am today. Where it'll go from here, I don't know but this isn't the end stop. If you want to know more about me just listen to my songs. What you hear is what I am. If that's not enough you could just send me a 'hi' and I'll do my best to explain. I figure that I might give a very serious impression but the truth is the opposite.
Oh and finally...
"If you see me face down in the
gutter, turn me onto my back"

happy new year to you and your family by the way!:)
I wish you all the good things for the new year, and also the strength, helath and the happy mind to carry you through should there be any bumps during your year's journey.
Just saw Ai in Ginza of Tokyo. It was wonderful to meet her in person at last.
Hello Llauma, I hope you are good and all is well. It must be a bit of an exciting time for you. Things are pretty much the same down here, grey and rainy. Not raining as much as it did during the summer thank goodness, but it is becoming cold. I must learn to use the fire place soon. I have never done it before! Hope your warmth keeps glowing inside you.
When I was graduating I was very busy. I gave the graphic designer things to print and I was updating them everyday. But even with control, thing went wrong. I was busy with an installation, a book and the album. So stressed that I realize that some names are wrong or not mentioned even. There are some faults people should not make. I' M SORRY for that. Even with the time of the exam, you were in Holland, I wrote you and tried to meet, no answer of you. The CD was then printed already. . Maybe an effect of subconsciousness? Would I INViTE YOU TO MEET AND SHOW YOU A CD WITHOUT YOUR NAME? (reason, please).
If you think I am so CRUEL to sit down quietly and make a CD and ignore your name ON PURPOSE, send you that CD to show how bad ass I am then again non-logic has won. Why, the hell, Should I send you the CD if I don't want you name on it?
To show you I am the champion of cruelty? No, really, why should I send you that CD? I just have in mind that your name is on it, same way for some people who helped with the album and who are not on it. I was just doing everything ALONE. Sorry is the last word to say. But be devoted to pain and refuse to talk is a sign that you are not ready to listen to my explanations. I am the only person in this world who SHOULD GIVE YOU EXPLANATIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. Since, I am the only one that send SMS, emails to people and forget a word that I say in mind but don't write. You can just get to my previous emails to mention that permanent forgetting behavior of me. I am the only one to explain you my error, not my Myspace friends or mates. So I just want to try to make myself clear on that point. You deciding to portray me without MY OWN explanation is your decision. It doesn't make me what you assume I AM. I am not that cruel guy you try to portray.
What if the main sponsor of my book has his name typed WRONG. It's not an excuse to justify a fault. But it's just that such a thing
Hello Llauma-Jonas! I've been wondering how you are doing lately. I realize that someone very important to you is moving to Sweden in a few months time. Wooooooooow! The whole summer here down in south west Cork has been WET. I have zillions of slugs in my garden having a party night after night. Until a few days ago that is. We had some gorgeous weather finally. Still, this place is a bit too wet for me, I've been back to Berlin a few times now, although not as often as I would like to. Anyhow....I really hope you are keeping well and everything will work out nicely for you and the people around you. Take care! M x
