ABOUT ME

Creativity is on top of my list, so all about me could be very wierd. To keep it short: uncomplicated & naive, tall & bearded, open minded & energetic, pacifistic & observant.

I study Environmental Geosciences at the University of Basel in Switzerland, more like a hobby though. I spend a lot of time beeing a musician. I play the bass and some synthesizers in a post-punk, new wave, indie band called We Loyal (check out our website). If, by means of a miracle, I still find time to do other things I like to read and whatch movies, go on an occasional hike or bike tour, visit museums, meet people and go see other people perform their music.
