About Me

CURRENT MISSION

saving the vinyl!

ABOUT ME

i am into music: i don't play music
but i am pressing vinyl records for people from
all over the world. together with a some friends
i started a record pressing plant where i hang out
most of the time...
i like fishing (although i did not went fishing for
the last 20 years).
i pretend to be vegetarian, but in fact i like
to go out and eat some nice "tom-ka"-soup with shrimps,
or some nice thai duck curry, italian fetuccini al salmone, indian lamb tandoori, as well as having barbecue and so on...
i love my city and i hate my country
(which is quite common for germans).
i don't like the unnatural hierarchic structures on this planet. and so i am very happy
to be my own boss, nobody shall tell me when i have to get up...and that should be the same for everybody!

PHILOSOPHY

watch and pray

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i don't want people to feel alone, i hate saying goodbye ...music is a way to get over these feelings.
that's why i press and collect records. my idea is to invite people to the pressing plant to get out their music on vinyl record and spread it all over the planet.
same time someone has to listen to all these records which are laying around in my place, so feel invited to do so and check out the hamburg city...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

in music biz i met a lot of crazy and same time super nice people...there was always space to put a sleeping
bag in the studio somewhere. i also slept in pressing plants in poeple's cars, kitchens, squatted houses, castles and last but not least in music clubs.
actually most of the time it was coffee that got the people together the next day and that's the nicest part of couch surfing...

Interests

vinyl records, alcohol in general (but please don't get a wrong impression i nearly got over it lately...)
computerhacking (but please don't get a wrong impression i nearly got over it lately...) and women (but please don't get a wrong impression i finally found her!)
