"BIO"

I've been writing songs for more than half of my life now... mind-numbingly repetitive electronic songs ever since 1996 or so, and slightly more interesting songs since 2006.

MUSIC

In my music I tend to focus on harmonies and melodies and well thought-out structure (or so I like to think). I'm not an awesome performer by a long shot, so I don't have to play to my strengths and I end up spending most of my music time exploring stuff that's new for me (there are some genres I hate, though, and you're never going to see them here).

OTHER STUFF

When I'm not doing music stuff, I like to work on making the world a happier place, one person at a time, or I just fall back on geeky computer stuff. Or just wasting time. I'm pretty good at that.

FEEDBACK PLEASE!

If you comment on my songs and there's something you DIDN'T like about them, I'll be very happy if you mention that on top of your general impression or things you liked about it (if any), even though it's sort of a bit uncommon for FAWMers to point out the "bad stuff". Don't worry, I can take it. Thanks!
