The Long Version
'I am NNWHEN'
'nnwhen' would be best described as:
a moniker; a veil; a pseudonym; a body.
The name I take in meatspace is different to the name I take here:
nnwhen is bodiless euphoria
.
The name was chosen in response to and inspired by: my intuition as well as digital formatting errors.
My intuition?
Yes.
The sound of 'nnwhen' (ɛnɛnwɛn) when spoken and the
symmetry of the letter 'n' on either side felt right.
Formatting Errors?
This was a pleasant surprise for me. After testing how the name felt to
read, speak and scrawl; I went to the internet to make sure it was not
already taken.
It wasn't. At least not intentionally...
You see, '\n' is an escape sequence. Simply, it is the computer's equivalent to the Enter key: a new line; \n; newline.
Therefore 'nn'when is the result of a computer misinterpreting the intent of a person pressing Enter twice and starting their new paragraph with "When".
| "\n\nwhen" | "nnwhen" |
A glitch; an error.
'I make Music and Other-Art'
The main focus of this site is my passion for the
music I make. The aim
of this site being a repository and CV for those who are looking for
Soundtracking and Sound Design.
Though I cannot completely disentangle the rest of my art from my music.
As for Other-Art
: my imagery, my
poetry(soon), my
blog
and little experimental things (like this website itself) also make an
appearance.
