More details about your skills

I have been a festival and tour engineer for a few decades (main function is to mix bands) with many technical skills. I'm also a studio engineer, musician and occasional producer :-)

Workaway skills:
Operating many types of powertools, doing House renovation (electrical) and repairs/maintenance.
Up-cycling things. I created permaculture gardens in bad-soil environments. For this I converted old wooden fences into growing boxes for vegetables & herbs.
Experience with residential electrical wiring (German & Belgian standards) which where then signed off by master electricians.

I have helped to Install/ wired up a number of recording studios and concert Venues. Whilst this sounds like large projects, I always prefer to be involved with small community projects (arts & music) and to make things possible with whatever there is available.
