About Me

I play the alto sax for the Duke wind symphony, work at the coffeehouse on East Campus as a sound tech, and play music on WXDU 88.7 FM on Fridays from 2-4pm. My favorite books are "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski and "Pale Blue Dot" by Carl Sagan. As for music I like alternative electronic and jazz, with some artists being Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, Clark, Cannonball Adderley, and Stanley Turrentine.
