CURRENT MISSION

to find one, or to realise there are plenty of, or none at all...

I find it hard to tell everything important about me in a text, therefore I decided to give a short description by listing things I like: listening to and collecting records, shelling prawns, hot chocolate, idealism, making music, story telling, wool socks, deep talks, city landscapes, black comedy, Joni Mitchell and slightly crazy people (crazy in a good way)

PHILOSOPHY

Just fall in love with someone who loves you like Kayne loves Kayne.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh, really a tough question. At the moment my biggest heroes are: Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Amanda Palmer, James Blake, Nick Drake, Laura Marling, Radiohead, The Velvet Underground and, and, and....
I´m really into singer/songwriter-music. I love the strong images in the lyrics of people like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Bright Eyes.
But questions like: hey - what is your favourite music? - are simply not answered in one or two sentences at all.

Movies: Broken Flowers, High Fidelity, Eagle vs Shark, Adam´s Apples, Only Lovers left Alive, The Idiots and a lot more...

Books: I´m really into biographies - "Just Kids" by Patti Smith, Transformer - a biography about Lou Reed. These are the ones I read recently. And there are a lot of good books ahead and behind...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

people - and the stories how I met them...

Teach, Learn, Share

What´s in my bag:
I´m a German, so what I can teach is German, obviously.
Also - I´m a passionate photographer and I´m always in for a project or session!
Because I studied a long time and worked at university (in philosophical subjects) I´m very usable as a paper listener. Tell me about your paper!
One of my Hobbies is to collect stories from rock music history. If you want to know why Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young made a cover of Joni Mitchells "Woodstock", or why Patti Smith knew Janis Joplin before Patti got famous, or why Nick Cave has a special weakness for Nina Simone, then I´m gonna tell you till I´m tired, or running out of stories
