ABOUT ME

Have my own place in Fitzroy, Melbourne with a free couch.

Enjoy creating electronic dance music.

I've moved back to Melbourne from Berlin. Will have a couch available in Melbourne, Australia for nice people in need.

Cheers!

I'm moving to Berlin on 17 Nov. Will have a couch in Berlin!
****

26 yr old male. Born and raised in Perth, Australia.

Moved to Sweden in June to focus on making music.

Had enough of that, on a whim decided to move to Berlin! Hopefully here, I can really get some traction with producing electronic music, read philosophy and psychology, explore the arts, get fit and party.

Check out a mix of mine if you'd like to hear my vibe:

Used to study law/finance and work for a corporation for 3 years. Thoroughly did NOT enjoy this.

In the last 12 months, I've traveled to Japan, Taiwan, Spain, London, NYC, Stockholm.

Previously, I have traveled around much of Europe and S/E Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Be a gentleman. Learn, create. Respect. Simplicity = elegance.

Appreciate creativity, aesthetics, design and philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

** Update 21/04/2017**

Looking to host electronic musicians (preferably competent to advanced). In return for a free couch, i'd like to pick your brain to learn some tips, tricks, lessons. Also open to non-electronic musicians, classically trained.

I have a mini-studio, dj gear. I use Logic and am halfway through an electronic music production / sound design diploma. I am house/techno orientated, but keen to learn from all styles of electronic dance/ambient music.

Curious to learn/discuss music theory, composition, arrangement, synths, samplers, film scoring, technical DAW tricks, so on and so forth.

Or, just have a simple jam and create something fun.

Happy to host people in Berlin.
