Programming

One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code.

Websites

We all have to do web development sometimes, unfortunately. All websites below have been created using Hugo.

This website
Obviously…
terminalrecords.gr
Record label of a friend of mine.
Atlas Audio & Visual Studios

terminalrecords.gr
A friend of mine’s record label and distro.

Music

I mainly play guitar and a few other stringed instruments.

Below is a list of (published) projects I’ve worked on:

Defilade
My dead band. It started as a solo project in 2016 when I bought my first sound card and proper studio headphones, so that I could record music that didn’t sound like it was recorded with a Fisher-Price cassette recorder. The songs were all written and recorded before the band was formed, so we didn’t get the chance to write new songs as a band, except for one or two drafts. Compared to my other musical projects, this one has been quite “successful”, but nowadays I’m not really interested in working on it.
Friend
A Slovak friend of mine’s collective project I took part in. Here is a previous project of his.
Socrates Slit His Throat
A neighbor’s project I wrote parts and produced songs for. He now has a new post-rock project going on.

History

World History Daily
A history page I created a few years ago.

Why study history? What’s the point? It’s boring!
