Chapman

lute and tremors

Roots
I grew up in the English Westcountry.

Study
I studied in London and Basel.

Professional
I am a musician.

Why
I became a musician because music was the only thing I could do better than my two older brothers.

Elective Affinities
Lapsang Souchong Tea. The smell of cow parsley. The cold North Sea. Cycling. Cool, fresh air.

Something else
Shall we play a game of chess? You prepare the board while I make tea.
