About me

Occupation survivor/musician/culture vulture/writer
Location brighton, United Kingdom
Introduction Writing keeps some demons at bay and helps me get to know some of the others on a first name basis. My website hesterglock has a lot of my writing and much more information. I make cut and paste electronica as truCulentEnigma and play guitar with carnie jazz molotov pop rehab blues collective beachy head music club. Last count I have moved on average every 13 months but only ever owned one tent.
Interests I like underground writing propositions, culture clash critiques & celebrations & the stuff in the shadows of pop & unpop culture. Culture jamming, sound, humanity, any creative expression & all of life's rich themes and contradictions. Word experiments and outsider art.
