It moves, it sings. ...but does it swing? Anyway, it represents the soundtrack of my life, my musi- cal in uences: some San Francisco psychedelia, some London underground, some Berlin school (old & new). Krautrock from Cologne & New York minimalism. A shot of Detroit grit, a bit of Mos- cow dust, a splash of Paris charm? Who knows. Its about daily grind, the passing of time, the change of seasons & relations. Reality & ction & perception. Biography - back & forth.
