  <notes>I make compositions using any instrument I can get my hands on, samples and found sounds. Once I have a group of songs on my hard drive, I give them a collective title, burn them to disc and move on. These albums contain everything I was working on at that particular time. Film scores, bits of interesting noises, sound collages, complete techno songs, pop, punk and folk music, etc. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Fact is, I just love sounds. Even if they&#8217;re not organized, or actual songs, or even pleasant. I like the contrast of textures, the impact of dynamics, the sweetness of melody and the vibrational math of harmonies. I like to break sounds down and reconstruct them into something new. </notes>
