About Me

For last few years, I spend most of my time writing story, puzzles, music, animations and a little bit of everything else for a non linear point and click adventure game "COLUMNAE: A Past Under Construction", as a member of Moonburnt Studio (there is only three of us, so everyone gets involved in everything). We did a successful Kickstarter campaign this summer (2016), feel free to check it out at http://moonburntstudio.com

Apart from that, I have been a musician whole my life. I am/was (not so active anymore) composing, producing and performing in an electronic/pop band inje (inje.rs) since 2007, and some other bands. I also do some solo electronic projects and stuff (soundcloud.com/vesic).

Aside from that,

I graduated philosophy in October 2011. But in the past, my interests varied a lot: from model rocketry, debate, web design and chess to culture of antics and middle ages, mythology, development of new RPG systems and archery.

Actually, when I sum up my life like that, there is probably just one thing I have been doing since I was a little child, and that's making and playing music. I can play piano and double-bass (classical music education), bass guitar and PC (years of self-education), and also some other instruments and digital toys.

I also do some freelance graphic design from time to time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I used to read a lot like you, then I took an arrow in the knee. I like Goethe, Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann... you catch my drift. A lot of philosophy also, naturally. And some SF and fantasy stuff from time to time. Song of Ice and Fire.

I rarely watch movies, so - no, I don't know who is that director/actor/whatever and yes, I believe you he is super famous. Here are some that I really liked: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly; Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead; Naked Lunch; Faust (1926.); Dreams (Kurosawa) Corto Maltese; Howl's Moving Castle.. and not to forget some series: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Firefly, GoT is nice so far.

music: (here's my last.fm profile: www.last.fm/user/ispileprekozile although I don't use it much last few years) mostly electronic: The Knife, Ladytron, Extrawelt, Bondage Fairies, TEED, DAT politics, Zeigeist, Aphex Twin, Mouse on Mars, Alex Smoke, Stereolab, Broadcast, Ladyhawke, Boards of Canada, Jimi Tenor, iamamiwhoami, Le Tigre, Peaches, Ellen Allien, Miss Kittin, Freezepop, Booka Shade, Vive la Fete, Fischerspooner, Trentemoller, Vitalic, Das Bierbeben. Stuff like that. I also enjoy some bass music.
