About Teig

Hey, I'm teig. I'm currently 33, and working an ordinary desk job as an engineer at a medical company. It's okay, but it leaves a lot to be desired. That's kind of why I started this whole "make a web page" thing; I wanted to learn something new, and seeing as my friends don't care about any of the things I'm interested in or care about, I decided to make a webpage to share my hobbies, thoughts, ideas, etc. I'm married, and I have a dog named Waffles, who is pretty cute.

Probably my biggest hobby is music, honestly. I write music, I listen to music, I do a LOT with music. Every part of it is fascinating and interesting to me. I'd say I mostly dabble in the electronic stuff, but I listen to hyperpop, synthwave, darkwave, dreampop, indie, glitch, IDM, house, techno, I mean, you name it. I'm all over. I started out writing house and techno, and have a few releases out in that vein, but it got boring quickly so now I write a lot of hyperglitch and IDM, since it's more fun to make and generally feels more satisfying. I release it undere the name "teig". You can check me out HERE if you want to. A lot of it is cheap or free!

I also do engineering at a medical device company as a design engineer. I'm alright at it, but pretty much plagued by Imposter Syndrome lol. I like to design stuff and I love tinkering and making things, but I'd rather be making music, honestly. I use my engineering skills to do things like circuit bend synthesizers and such, or work on programming things. All of it is a good time, and it pays the bills, so I guess I can't complain. That being said, I still enjoy it and will likely have some things to share about it in the future as I build more of this page. :)

I like to play video games in my free time too, but honestly, most games really bore me so it's hard for me to find a game I really like. I picked up Path of Exile, and that was a lot of fun. I still kinda play it, but some of the patching now has taken the fun out of it. I'm currently working through Cyberpunk 2077 again, and I'm also obsessed with Tetris. I also really like playing mahjong. I actually have tiles and stuff to play IRL, but no one else either wants to learn how to play it or cares about how to play it lol. It's a bummer, but I understand.

The whole sociology thing? I can't really explain it. I've somehow found myself interested in cities and people and development. I'm also fascinated with why people from the suburbs are one way, and people from the city are another, and I'm curious about why I hate the suburbs and why I think they're so boring but other people don't. There's a lot I don't understand about people and I try to figure that out. I actually did a ton of research into mixed use spaces recently, and even have an outline to it. I may end up trying to write an article at some point, which I think would be pretty fun. We'll see how that plays out haha. It may not play out at all, but at the least, I'll share the outline so people can check it out.

I think that's pretty much it. Eventually I'll add some contact info and stuff so people can ask questions, or maybe I'll look into adding a little guest book or something. We'll see, but I think it'd be cool to have people visit and stuff. :)
