Things I do in my spare time
Music & Interactive Arts
Prizmat · Ableton · DJ · TouchDesigner
Under the alias PRIZMΔT, I produce and mix electronic music, hypnotic groovy techno and funky house. On the side, I build audio-reactive visuals for DJ/VJ sets and gesture-controlled instruments using TouchDesigner.
Sports
Bouldering · Running · Weightlifting · Cycling
I try to move in as many ways as possible, bouldering for problem-solving with my four limbs, running and cycling to be cardially healthy, weightlifting to stay grounded. Ideally all in the same week every week.
