10:50 am
a lot to say i didn't expect it but while i was writing it suddenly i had very long lengthy things to say and that's different than the one before because it was more instrumental ok now that's your latest music let's have a look back at your your illustrious career as i guess i would say doyin of the old sort of music save here and. we begin with the album before this which actually took you away from the city to your original home in america. loves adventure after her last album she and musician husband alexander gave up their home and belongings and hit the road on tour taking only what would fit in their suitcase. that album was called tacoma named for her hometown in the u.s. state of washington. since the nineteen eighties though brian. it has been
10:51 am

10:52 am
start again i mean did you really do that yes we did have nowhere to go so well we did have places to go because we were always touring and so we basically gave everything up so we didn't have a case to go back to so we were touring the world to see if we could find a place that would be perfect for artists did you find. not yet. this many beautiful places but. yes yes we've noticed that berlin does have something very special for artists and we thought maybe it's important for us to help keep that up yeah yeah yeah well you need to do i said doran of the alternative scene here it was actually you along with dr mater who invented the. the biggest techno party of the world the love parade of course back in one thousand nine hundred nine. few friends.
10:53 am
allegedly a birthday party hundred fifty people but in eight years it became a million people on the streets of berlin why do you think it took off like that and such i think it was a magical moment that nobody expected so many things came together the fall of the wall the beginning of a new music the beginning of new technologies and the change of a city that we by chance did something that spoke to very very many people including specifically east germans that were experiencing a new upheaval and techno was a music with no heroes and that of course was perfect for that era and so we didn't expect it to happen we were surprised as everybody else but of course we were very happy that our vision of music being able to fly over walls and that art cannot be confined in any way became true in this magical way that so many people said we
