Noboru Watanabe (Cole Blackford)
It started out as music, then literature that included music and cats and that turned into cats and that is why I chose Noboru Watanabe from a book by Haruki Murakami but for the stats: American in Amsterdam writing a novel, making music, learning video, capturing images and growing some static.
