POETRY
Gruppe 04 is a poetry project that I founded with a good friend in 2004. We were inspired by the famous "Gruppe 47", a group of writers and poets who met in the years between 1947 and 1967. The Gruppe 04 members are: Roberta Hofer & Theresa Illmer
Influences: I get very inspired by people, by artists whose work touches me... Björk, DalÃ, Max Frisch or Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud do so. Style and fasion inspire me, as do in general expression and emotion. Sometimes I hear something in the media or I see someone in the streets and I feel that I have to write a song about it. Inspiration can lie in a simple quote or just the smell of rain - or a suspicion or a wish that never turns out to be true. Inspiration is in dreams as well as in real life. It is everywhere, really.
Sounds Like: "Think Kate Bush/Bjork gone solo-acoustic, or perhaps Tori Amos as produced by Trent Reznor…"
