CURRENT MISSION

i´m in south america. Here to experience the culture, learn castellano, learn about natural construction , permacultura and above all MUSIC!! Latino styles....I´m a travelling trombone player... keen to JAM!

ABOUT ME

Well... i´m a musician, a trombone player mostly (i play synths too). Back home i play in 6-7 bands ranging from reaggae, rocksteady, folk, blues, jazz and indie. Basically anything thats good music and not soul-less pop. Love playing classical in orchestras too!

My big mission at the moment in south america is to learn about as much latino music as possible - and play it too. I´m looking for some tight horn sections to play with... in a big band or something.

But the other thing is to learn about permaculture and natural construction. When i return to new zealand my focus will be on developing a piece of land with some close friends, who all feel that we need to re-connect with mother earth. So to learn about all things involved in this lifestyle i´ve been wwoofing (wwoofing.org) to experience this first hand. Its also a great way to travel when you have no money! because you work for your food and a place to sleep. I recommend checking it out.
