Raymond's Interests
General
Main interests: movies, music, martial arts, video games, computing
Other activities I enjoy, although I don't do as much as I used to: Ten Pin Bowling, Cycling, Basketball, Badmington, Swimming. I like reading philosophy, having studied Plato, David Hume and Rene Descartes and Kant. Unfortunately, I have a memory like a sieve at times... so I tend to forget a lot of what I read.
Favourite comics: Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Beau Peep, Far Side.
I love playing the guitar, mostly metal music, and the piano/keyboards. I compose a lot of music, which has been used in short films, and a feature length documentary. I've recently created a full length electronic album and I'm currently working on a follow up to my demo album, for my band 'Diverz Palace', which I recorded and produced in 2001.

I make films. My main goal and dream is to make a living from directing and composing music. For now, I mostly do editing, which is another great passion of mine. I have been creating films since the age of 13, when I took control of my dad's Hi8 camcorder so that my friends and I could have a laugh... Little did we know we'd go on to create the greatest series of films that no-one has seen...
With the help of my friends, I wrote, directed, edited and acted in a feature length film when I was 15 years old. The film was, "The Devil's Eye" - a fantasy, comedy, kung-fu, horror film. It ran for 1hour 20minutes, with an additional (epic) credit sequence which contained 20 minutes of Jackie Chan style outtakes of our stunts that went wrong, and the lines we messed up.
I am constantly aiming to improve my ideas, execution and post production techniques.
I also like to compose music. Recorded and self-produced my own metal album at the age of 19, and have written original scores for short films and a feature length documentary. I have recently created a full length electronic album, 'Kiflow - Model 101'. You can find links to Diverz Palace and Kiflow on my profile page... They're everywhere. If you can't see them, you must be blind.
I'm currently helping my film making friends with their projects, and I look forward to further developing my own ideas.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who's interested in my crazy movies.
Famous people? Jackie Chan. Arnold Schwarzenegger (really just to get an audio recording of him saying "Oooops!"), Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Stephen Chow, Mike Patton and Metallica.
what is a soulmate ..? is it to be someones romantic mesiah, the center of someones romantic life... does it mean they have to be equally the same for you... is it all about ego..?

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
