REM Blue

Remembering Christoph Schlingensief
51

I recorded my improv on this beautiful track by REM on the death of my great friend, the German artist, filmmaker, theatre director and political activist, Christoph Marie Schlingensief. He was a genius and a genie, only fifty years old. There is much to be said of him today, on his passing day. But I will let this track suffice, in remembering that boy of Berlin.
