ABOUT ME

UPDATE 16/12/12: well it's been over a year since I wrote all of that - I've since returned from Europe, quit studying graphic design and started learning Thai Massage (yeah I know, close field) - I did that during 2012. I'm planning to study to be a qi gong instructor on 2013

describing myself... damn, it's harder than I thought.
I study graphic design in Buenos Aires, where I live. I also play music with several projects, mostly experimental and improvisation. I like to share thoughts, ideas and experiences, changing my mind, seeing something I take for granted fall apart, living in the present, imagining - transforming something in something else, exploring the infinite possibilities of perception (yeah sometimes I can talk a lot.)
But it's not all just blabbering - I also enjoy to have a drink, dancing (specially drum & bass, dubstep, EBM, electro, minimal).
I particularly enjoy playing music, improvising with no guidelines, restrictions, training or fear - just going for it.
I also appreciate people who can laugh at anything, even themselves, with no taboos - nothing better than beeing surprised by an unexpected obscure joke (although I contain myself until I know I'm on safe grounds - some people are sensitive)
I've also started doing Tai Chi a few months ago, wich was an amazing discovery - for both my mind and body... even if I can't remember than many excersises, I like showing them to whoever might be interested...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the dance of reality

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play guitar (I'm self-taught so my teaching methods might not be so orthodox), some qi gong/tai chi, thai massage, and of course spanish!

If I can do or say anything to someone that might resonate in their mind or flesh, or change their perception of life in any positive way, and/or they can do the same for me... well, that's what I consider a rich personal experience.

keep your inner child always awake and curious

age is a myth
time is an illusion
