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.
