hello, im kris. some internets know me as soft. hence kris soft. i make music sometimes but not nearly as often as i should. im getting back to it now though. most of what i’ve been doing recently is ending up going bang bang bang bang. not all the stuff i do sounds like the tunes on this page. if you would like a remix doing for your band or whatever, send me a message or something.
i like to take photographs.
i also like to read and think about psychology, chemistry, quantum theory (physics/mechanics and the search for elusive particles), networks, patterns, chaos theory, emergence and other geeky things.
eveything is connected...you just dont know it sometimes.
i’m also 1 half of millicent with radio909. you can find our hippocamp EP here and can download it for free. thats right - FREE!
oh yeah, i’m part of this awesome open ’collective’ known as STFU.
we all met on the net and do gigs around UK and europe....and usually all end up in a right state! so far we have done sucessful events in manchester (x2), glasgow (x2), leeds, weimar (germany), chester, helsinki (finland) with events planned in liverpool, rome (italy) and more.
maybe you would like to play or attend one sometime. check out the
STFU website and forum or send us a message or something. you can find the STFU myspace page somewhere on this page if you look for longer than a second or two...or if you’re really clever you may have already spotted it.
and no i don’t like to press the shift key. but i do like baby sweetcorns, uncooked mushrooms and fresh pineapple. and lego.
here are some little clips of me and paul playing live shizzle in helsinki.
