More About Me
Location: London, Greater London, England
Occupation: Musician, Activist, Facillitator
My Philosophy On Life: Nature works, and works perfectly. Everything in nature is provided with what each requires to reach full potential, freely. There is no waste, as all excess is returned to the system for use by other life.
We, human beings, are of nature, and therefore there has to be a way of living that reflects the perfection and imperfections of nature that allows balance, dynamic equilibrium, diversity... it must be innate, and if so, then the lack of it has to be a 'result' of some form of intervention.
I do not sell my music (cds are unrecyclable), thus I eke out a living from live performances and from working at festivals. I do not need much.
The prime purpose for a performance is to empower those who are there, through sharing the joy of music, a joy of life and through breaking through those cultural illusions which block action.
If you can put me in touch with someone you know who organises gigs, I'd be grateful.
You can hear and download lots of my music and whole gigs from my website www.corneilius.net
The website acts as a portal for useful info and interesting activist news.
