About Me

I'm currently studying music at the University of Toronto. My aspiration is to be a singer of avant-garde music, also a music teacher and maybe a performance artist.

things I'd most like to receive in the mail are: letters photographs hand-drawn maps art of any kind anything unusual or suprising

Favorite Books

anything by Michael Chabon or Augusten Burroughs

The Unbearable Lightness of Being - Milan Kundera

On the Road - Jack Kerouac

Daniel Deronda - George Eliot

Savage Beauty - Nancy Milford

Music Downtown - Kyle Gann

Conversing with Cage - Ric Kostelanetz

the Practice of Everyday Life - Michel de Certeau

My favourite poets are: Christian Bok, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman

Favorite Music

The weirder the better. Some of my favourite groups are Matmos, the Fiery Furnaces, Final Fantasy, and Deerhoof.

also music composed by John Cage, Morton Feldman, David Lang, Claude Vivier, Christian Wolf, Frederic Rzewski, Georges Aperghis....

I love opera, especially the composers Strauss, Wagner, Berg, Ravel, Mozart and Purcell.

and older musicians like Betty Carter, Sarah Vaughan, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, the Beach Boys, the Kinks, the Velvet Underground, Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf

I have very eclectic, yet fussy tastes when it comes to music

Favorite Activities

making music, listening to music, reading, writing, cooking, eating, bicycling, exploring new neighbourhoods on foot, and learning new things.

I spend way too much time reading music and food blogs.

Other Interests

details of how people live their lives every day, especially people who live in other countries -- languages -- vegetarian recipes -- tea (loose-leaf especially) -- coffee -- travel -- sudoku -- zines -- crocheting -- sewing -- birds -- sweets -- living sustainably -- farmers markets -- philosophy -- improvisation and chance operations in the creation of art

Comment: Thank you for the fun letter and telling me about Queen West-West, which sounds like a really cool place. I appreciate you taking my allergies into consideration with the tea you sent. I love the Golden Peach! I checked out Tealish's website and found they have an online store - I think I might order.
