about

"The (Perpetual) Tango. Moderately and with great boredom. The tango is the dance of the Devil. It's his favorite. He dances it to cool off. His wife, his daughters & his servants get cool [or: catch a cold] that way. May 5, 1914."
-Erik Satie

Trevor Helminski Chandler, Arizona

I am an elementary school teacher by day. In my free time, I make music with music boxes, toy instruments, chip tones, glitches, and other electronic sounds. I especially enjoy manipulating low fidelity recordings.

My other interests include biology, bird-watching, science, history, humanism, and language.
