hi! I am spencer, after working as an engineer in a factory for a few years I decided to stop and travel to meet new people, work small jobs, fight materialist/consumerist impulses, and see the world awhile. I am an artist, I make electronic ambient collage music, and love to play piano (chopin, debussy and bill evans especially). i've been studying eastern religion independently for the past four years and it's a big part of how I see the world. i like looking at the sky, cooking, watching the water, reading, hitchhiking, mountains, walks, silence, meeting people and entering their lives for a short but profound time...
