About
01 · Hello there
It's Benni, over 9×108 seconds old French-German-Arab soul based somewhere in the real world — currently Basel, Switzerland.
Music is my jam, software my bread and butter, and writing a way of expression which has been accompanying me since my 5th year of high school. I started with drawing, painting and calligraphy — the good old ones — then moved on to poetry.
I like to comment on topics related to sovereignty, technology, and solidarity.
