CURRENT MISSION

to get inspired, and to grow a beard like Darwin.. one day.

ABOUT ME

I studied music composition in Melbourne. I've taught guitar and theory at Melbourne University. I played in a band on a ship which sailed the world (not a bad gig, hey?) I'm currently in Edinburgh doing some teaching and 'studying' whisky. You can hear some of my music stuff up on my soundcloud account if you like:

你说普通话吗？如果你将是我的老师，我会在爱丁堡导游！

I also write modern music, but I hope that doesn't scare you off :)

Музыка, кино и книги

Movies: Office Space, Lost in Translation, High Fidelity (yeah I know it's kind of a chick flick but how cool is that scene when they beat up Tim Robbins!?)

Books: Nature via Nurture, The Selfish Gene, The Language Instinct, The Diversity of Life (yes I'm a bit of a science nerd), Predictably Irrational and Naked Lunch.

I played Beatles songs at a Finnish wedding in Oulu, being introduced as a famous Australian actor from Neighbours (I'm not).
