My Interests

My main thing is making records.

I have a particular interest in the psychopathological aspect of power, in other words, paranoia, which I think is the main source of violence, war and genocide. So I feel connected to Elias Canetti and Wolfgang Treher.

I also research the work of Jan Van Eyck, the 15th century painter. I am preparing a book on his "Adoration of the Mystical Lamb", the Genth altarpiece.

I'd like to meet:

Vocalists with a great voice and talented singer-songwriters. Audrey Hepburn.

Books:

Masse und Macht (Crowds and Power) by Elias Canetti
