One thing I don’t talk a lot about is music I studied saxophone and guitar during primary and high school, and always took with me the love for musical theory and what music means to us as humans Over college I composed a bit of electronic, nothing serious Well now, it seems we are DJing a bit

Picture of a bowl containing jazmin rice, chicken curry and Thai basil for garnish. The bowl is on top of a typical Paraguayan Ñanduti placemat, on top of a wooden table.
