CURRENT MISSION

Finding the rhythms

ABOUT ME

Duuuh, I hate talking about myself, but let's give it a try. I am an open minded and spontaneous person, like to get in touch with people and their ideas, hate small talk, love to play music. I think I carry some kind of hippie spirit in me; I try to believe in "the good of man" (doesn't feel as pathetic as it reads and doesn't always work out, but I try) and I think that everything and everyone should be treated with respect.

PHILOSOPHY

"All things considered, being shot is not as bad as I always thought it might be. As long as you can keep the fear from your mind. I guess you could say that about most anything in life. It's not so bad as long as you can keep the fear from your mind." - Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's great to be able to know people in a country where you travel, getting to know their stories. Vice versa it's nice to get to know travellers and it's always nice to give back :)

Interests

most everything that's related to music (playing music, going to shows, recording music, setting up diy shows), arts, sleeping, hanging out (outdoors, indoors, internet)

• music

Music, Movies, and Books

It's kinda hard to put "taste" into words, but let's try:
For movies, I tend to have a little affinity for the darker and/or dreamier stuff; I love David Lynch's movies and especially Twin Peaks (always amazes me), I definitely like what I know from Richard Linklater's Work (Waking Life (favorite!), A Scanner Darkly, Dazed And Confused), I like The Breakfast Club, I like Josef Hader's movies and I like a lot of other stuff that just won't cross my mind right now...

For music, I guess you can say the same thing about dark and dreamy stuff, but I don't really limit myself... I started off with punk and hardcore and got into metal and grindcore later on, and always return to stuff like that, although I can't really identify with what's being called "metal" these days. Some of my favorite bands/musicians are boysetsfire, Hot Water Music, Napalm Death, Nasum, Nadja, Sunn O))), Neurosis, Colour Haze, Townes Van Zandt, Earth, Cult Of Luna, Portishead, Massive Attack, Perth Express, Bohren & der Club Of Gore, Converge, Tombs, Ruined Families, Slayer, Pink Floyd

For books, it's hard to name favorites, to be honest I don't read that much, but some books that made me think or somehow left a mark are Trainspotting, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and "Liebesfluchten", a collection of stories by Bernhard Schlink
