MOTIVE OF LOVE PROJECT

This is Simulacra

About Me

We do not really know by now what is going to happen here, it is just that the fragment „MOTIVE OF LOVE“ has been circling around my head for several years, so I talked a lot to friends about what to do with it, maybe to do an open music-project with mates I met during the years that have past by and now there is the situation to lose sight of them (or who are already out of sight), so first of all „MOTIVE OF LOVE“ was thrown into the world by Thias and me offering somekind of „DISCO-Event“ to the audience playing songs of „dark intensity“ and „deepest romance“ with lots of idealism and the help of two special mates (cheers Holger and Kai!!!) in a small bar named PK22 in Berlin-Friedrichshain in the early 2000s.
These days we had the idea to start the project in some way with three guys, Thias, Frank and me planing to put some dilletantically realized songs into this area, maybe realizing some further „Dancing-and -Hanging-aroung-Event“ in autumn, but to put it together it has to be a very self-focused thing and we try to eliminate opportunism concerning ideas and people as good as we can, just to count some good friends amoung here and to grow up as a couple of fellas, cause this should happen.
That's it for the moment, with greetings to you from Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Spandau and St. Pauli vicariously

Sorry for my english right now, just finished studies with Ronny O'Sullivan's biography ... :o)
Wir haben noch keinen blassen Schimmer, was genau hier passieren wird. Die Wendung "MOTIVE OF LOVE" zieht schon längere Zeit Kreise durch meinen Kopf und ich habe immer mal wieder Freunde, vor allem solche, zu denen der Kontakt im Laufe der vergangenen Jahre abzubrechen drohte oder immer noch abzubrechen droht damit "belästigt", Ideen aus diesem Fragment zu schöpfen. Bisher dabei rausgekommen sind viele, lebendige Gespräche und Musikveranstaltungen, die Thias und ich mit einigem idealistischen Aufwand bei den netten Menschen im PK22 (Salut Holger und Kai!!!!) durchführen durften und somit erstmals den Titel "MOTIVE OF LOVE" in die Welt stürzten. Thias hat bereits einige Innovation darauf verwandt ein Schriftbild zu entwerfen und nun werden wir zu dritt (Frank, Thias und Dirk) versuchen, hier einen Anfang auf die Beine zu stellen in der gewissen Voraussicht, daß der Kreis sich noch erheblich vergrößern wird, weil er das soll ... :
In jedem Fall soll das Ganze eine Selbstbeweihräucherung in kleinem Kreise werden, soll heißen, daß wir jeglichen Opportunismus bezogen auf andere Menschen und Ideen so gut es geht auszuschließen versuchen und einen kleinen, feinen Freundeskreis um uns herum begrüßen möchten, aber jetzt werden erst einmal ne Menge Gründungsfeiern gemacht, versucht mit dilettantischen Mitteln ein paar musikalische Ideen in dieses Forum zu bringen und dann sehen wir weiter!
Mit herzlichen Grüßen aus Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Spandau und St. Pauli stellvertretend
