who am I ?
1982 was the year the first consumer compact disc player was released by Sony and Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" went to a non-human for the first time ever (i.e. "the computer").
It was the year the Falkland War began and ended and the year that Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was released. Unrelated to these more influential events, I was born in Ghent, a miniature world city in Belgium. Kxszander is a conglomerate nickname based on all the differently pronounced abbreviations of my christian name, Alexander.
After finishing high-school years (Latin-Languages) in a Ghent Jesuit college, I enrolled in Ghent University to study History of Arts, with a major in Musicology. After graduation (and a brief stint working in the administration of Ghent University Hospital), I was offered the opportunity in 2008 to return to the Musicology department of university to start working on my PhD research. Currently, I work as a researcher at IBBT-SMIT at Brussels Free University.
