About

• Most of my music is not about anything (music is the most abstract art form.)
• I make electronic music and this influences my instrumental music.
• I often write music with repeated accelerations and decelerations.
• I play the piano.
• At the moment I like Autechre, Fauré, Furrer, Haas, Scriabin, Sibelius, Stucky
