Influences:
WELCOME TO MY REALMS :o)

I am influenced by every sensation that comes to me with the moment -
the approaching spring outside, the birds in the early morning hours,
a smile on the train, the light of the sky...
I keep singing all day - about the tea kettle, the cat litter and the socks I cannot find,
I sing about the broken cup and the bus I missed again, I sing about a phone talk with a friend and the job I have...
...everything leads me to a tune and guides me through an arrangement which is created during a process more owed
to intuition than intellectual consideration.

I was deeply touched and stirred at the age of 8, listening to Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights on the radio the first time.
Since that very magic moment I dote on her and thus forgive some video clips of surprising bad taste and her last album ;o)
She is beyond this, a rare ingenious mind.

The next woman in music that made me feel like inside out and head over heels is BJÖRK, many years later, in the early nineties.
She spoke the truth I always had aimed to speak myself in music, and, looking around on MySpace,
I see how many women, especially women, have recognised the power of authenticity and playfulness she brought to us;
with time, she became more and more elaborate in her work, gorgeous joint ventures with equally exciting people followed.
These are probably the most audible influences from music, but I listen to many other great artists,
from experimental to traditional and from hardcore and death metal to classical music.
Music is my drug and the only drug I have in life.
It keeps me going, makes my day, makes me cry and laugh, and often both.
I still have this very old slightly damaged digi-cam :o)) and no possibility to show my art work sufficiently, so I tend to put up my digital art here,
the hand made ones are left behind, but one day you'll find them on my other website, promise.
Until then, I'd like to point you to
www.lettl.de
the website of Wolfgang Lettl, a great surrealist who only died a short time ago.
The work he left is remarkable. Please, take the time and go there...

Besides music, it is humour, an incredibly powerful cosmic tickle, and often pitch black like a raven's feather, that keeps me alive and kicking.
I've got no measures for this, but a day without a nice laugh attack has yet to come,
and I've seen a lot of shit happening, to me and others I love(d); still....I keep it with Alexis....

John with a chewing gum in his blessed bold mouth - the only way to deliver the message without being too cheesy... ;o)

The Swan - Carmina Burana!

Take this for authenticity!! :o)

Found it, loved it - watch it, we don't get it here in Germany :o/

All I'd like to say and show for now - until I change my layout again,
which is bound to happen every few weeks :o))
