8. What are your ambitions?
I want to find people to collaborate with. The most important thing is to have fun. Therefore, social compatibility is more important than skills.
Another thing is that I want to put out the music I make, most of all to be able to mark a project as "done". If I don't release a piece of music, it feels like a failure sometimes.
9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?
I used to draw and paint, but I don't have other interests at the moment. I make my own artwork on the computer, though.

Learning languages
10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?
I would like to find people to collaborate. Especially people who want to write lyrics for my songs. But the most important thing is, again, to have fun, and to learn something in the process, just for the sake of learning.
I think that covers the main musical things!
