Its all about blind spot. At least the middle of the track is definitely it.

Mushroom Lab - Blind Spot

Chill night @Akasha

Every journey I play is personal, and this is one of the most personal and meaningful journeys i have ever created.

The music sings for itself, but if you're curious, read on....

I've played in Berlin a few times in the past, but this time I felt called to create a more personal journey.

When I was young, i became aware of the public discussion around the issue of playing Richard Wagner in Israel, because Wagner was a "fanatical anti-semite" and his music was used by the Nazi regime. 

I felt then and feel now that his music stands by its own merit. There's also a meaning in the fact that a Jewish-Israeli DJ is choosing to play Wagner in Berlin out of his own will.

I've included excerpts from Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin), the 1987 film by Win Wenders, which has inspired me deeply since i watched it in the late 80s and throughout my life. 

I've also included both Israeli and contemporary German musicians, along with African, Brazilian, and other world music artists.


Gratitude to Bhavya Theissen for inviting me, Avram the soundman, Pascal de Lacaze and Esta Polyesta for their support, Christina Dohr who held the warm up workshop, Annika Bunt and Leopold Hutter for opening their homes and their hearts, Katharina Harnack, the team and all the dancers (we had over 100 !) who responded so beautifully to what I played.

Translation of the poem that appears in the beginning :

Song of Childhood (English) by Peter Handke

When the child was a child
It walked with its arms swinging,
wanted the brook to be a river,
the river to be a torrent,
and this puddle to be the sea.

When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child,
everything was soulful,
and all souls were one.

When the child was a child,
it had no opinion about anything,
had no habits,
it often sat cross-legged,
took off running,
had a cowlick in its hair,
and made no faces when photographed.

When the child was a child,
It was the time for these questions:
Why am I me, and why not you?
Why am I here, and why not there?
When did time begin, and where does space end?
Is life under the sun not just a dream?
Is what I see and hear and smell
not just an illusion of a world before the world?

Given the facts of evil and people.
does evil really exist?

How can it be that I, who I am,
didn’t exist before I came to be,
and that, someday, I, who I am,
will no longer be who I am?
