Am I Punk Yet???

Ιnvolved with music since 1986 and my entry drug was metal (Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and Sodom), punk (Sex Pistols, Dead Kenedys) and anarchopunk (Crass, Heresy, Doom, Electro Hippies, Ripcord). In early 90's I was introduced to Throbbing Gristle and Diamanda Galas and later on to John Zorn, something that had a profound effect on my approach to sound, either as a listener or as a creator.

I'm mainly into harsh noise, experimental, drone, ambient, sound art / sound collage, electroaccoustic, electronic, gabba, IDM, free jazz / improv, prog / psychedelia, punk / hardcore / crust / grind / noisecore but also selected metal, techno, 90's psy trance, reggae / dub, folk etc among others.

Furthermore I'm a sound and visual artist since 2001 and since 2015 as an artistic and in life duo with my spouse. Our portfolio can be seen here.

Nothing from my collection is for sale/trade unless otherwise noted. I won't make you mp3 from an album I own, it is too boring to do that, even doing it for myself.

I'm using Discogs as a contributor and a seller. Besides my store here, you may want to check: Banned Discogs items I'm selling.
