Hi all! I’m Xanthë, a 51yo woman living in Naarm/Melbourne. I’m an ex-IT geek, ex-public servant and currently looking for part-time work; I write music occasionally and used to perform a bit, but that dried up with the pandemic. I live with my partner Greenkat and two actual cats (Devon Rexes named Biscuit and Cheese) near to Altona beach.
So you may know me as a singer in choirs, occasionally a conductor; or music editor, or a contributor to the CPDL or IMSLP music libraries; or a commenter on PZ Myers’ blog, Pharyngula; or an election official with the VEC (intermittently since 1999) or AEC (2016–19); or the proprietress of 64ordle.au, a mega-Wordle clone. Here’s a photo of the cats, Biscuit is the silly one on the left. #introduction
