About Me |
|
Freelance Musician/DJ/Composer/Producer and amateur Cold War and CCCP historian. Laughingly bad at speaking Russian, but improving slowly - I am learning more words every day, though apparently my accent needs a lot of work. Will probably never fully understand the alphabet... If you need some incredible, ground-breaking, innovative, imaginative electro/sonic-art compositions for any medium, and money is no object, I'd love to hear from you but I probably won't as you'll go to someone you've actually heard of, I expect. On the other hand, if you need something knocked up quickly on the cheap, preferably by a starving artist who will work 24 hours a day for peanuts, just to get the rent paid - I'm pretty sure I'll get that commision as that's what they all seem to be at the moment! When not playing with studio equipment I do Synth/Programming/Loops for The Problem Being - an exciting new band on the London scene. Not so much a band as a sonic Chimera, the result of a genetic crossbreeding of Electro, Punk, Indy and Alternative. Let's be honest, with that description you just gotta come and see more - gigs at various locations in London and further afield. I'm also a paid professional know-it-all, being one of AQA (The text message service that answers any question)'s freelance researchers. "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." George Bernard Shaw "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." Voltaire You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretences of your civilisation which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all life and feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the free world. |
