„Electronic Griot“-afterglow

von: Manafonistas Filed under: Blog | TB | 3 Comments

Hello Michael,

I am listening to Penguin Cafe Orchestra while typing, and thought it would be a nice moment to write you a short mail. We met at the Punktfestival. I told you I am moving to London in November with my girlfriend.

Your lecture / performance / seminar was my ‚pioneer trail‘ to the Punktfestival. I hitchhiked from Leipzig to Kristiansand and it was worthwhile the uncomfortable moments. At your seminar I felt welcome, warm, connected, in a cozy living room before a fireplace listening to a story with music in the background. I remember it as an intimate expedition in a universe created with a lot of care. And, you gave me a bridge to the rest of the concerts.

Well, we would love to meet up for a coffee – or visit the indian restaurant at upper st martin street together. I think it would be great to know how you perceive London. Hope to hear from you!

Liebe Grüsse aus Leipzig,
Chris and Miranda

    Sehr schoen — da sage noch jemand, dass Internet mache die Welt nicht kleiner und stelle Verbindungen (Kontakte?) her. Eine Bitte: ueber das Konzert von Laurie Anderson und Arve Hendriksen wuerde ich gern noch ein paar Eindruecke mehr hoeren – dieses eine, sehr stimmungsvolle Photo weckt mein Interesse ! .-D

    Chris‘ letter even reveals more of its allusions (is that the right word for „Anspielungen“) when you read it with the tracklist of the show in the back of your mind….
