Recorded with Tres Muchachos e Companeros (a side project of Markscheider Kunst) on a soundtrack CD for a play starring the irrepressible Aleksander Lushin, Aleksander Bargman and Natasha Pivovarova.

Enjoyed playing with
the salsa project Sever Combo;

Turn-ons:
The outdoors, swimming in the sea and northern lakes, going to great concerts and working in my studio.

Turn-offs:
Violence, suffering, vulgarity and rudeness

Wishes:
To play challenging, exciting music (afro-latin-world-jazz-funk) and keep working on my studio (for which I have designed and manufactured hand-made tube preamps using pre-transistor technology with transformer in-jacks) to record my own ideas and those of talented friends.  
All that’s left to do is find the right space for my studio.
