About me: The self is such a very fickle thing, isn't it? It seems to fluctuate and mutate but most importantly: GROW. My current incarnation might be summed up with these words: accepting, trusting, hopeful, driven, patient, and full of wonder. I'm a musician, father, thinker, anti-thinker, speculator and generally just a pretty individualistic artist type...
Obsessed with music, namely electronic music, and I produce, tour and perform with my project Aligning Minds, making mind altering electronica for susceptible ears. I also produce drum n bass and its variations under the name Motive Within. Check dem links below if you want to follow..
I like to think for myself, speak for myself, and I look for all the things in life that are unique, beautiful, imaginative and real.
Who I'd like to meet: Artists, musicians, daydreamers, poets, wierdos, derelicts, writers, wanderers, dancers, beatboxers, extraterrestrials- and pretty much all people who feel things, think for themselves, value truth and beauty, follow an original path and grow as individuals.
