About Me

ABOUT ME

Let's see.
Easy going, easy talker, kind of chaotic, atheist, love to go out, not used of sitting home a lot. I'm self supporting and like to be on my own from time to time, but mostly I tend to be around people.
A occasional pub crawler.

I'm much into spontaneous actions and changing course. I'm most of the time not sure how my next day is going to look like. And I prefer it that way.

Work wise: I worked as a sound engineer / tour manager. Since a few years I work as a booking agent at a live agency. Right now I'm combining the booking with some sound engineering.

PHILOSOPHY

The usual stuf, but I try to create a situation where I don't have to ask myself whether I work to live or I live to work. I'd rather enjoy both.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Some bands I like: WILCO, The Shins, Calexico, Metronomy, Whitest Boy Alive, Broken Bells, Okkervil River and so on. Movies: a lot, but I'm actually a big fan of those HBO series. Sopranos, Six Feet Under, and most of all a big fan of The Wire.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach sailing and I know something about techy (live) sound stuff. I know my way around in the music industry and did various jobs witch gave me a pretty good insight of the business side combined with the creative aspects.
