About Me
- Purple
- Interested in the intersections of various fields of study. Degrees in music, after many thousands of gigs, have retired from the world of the wage-labor musician. Extensive living experience in working class communities in South East Asia. Live off the land and 'consult' on matters of personal expertise. Enjoy tinkering with ideas and the like.
