What is the best Live / recording moment you’ve ever had
Only bad moments so far.
Where was your first public performance
At Swiss Radio RTSI
Well, we couldn’t agree on one track. use the first one. It’s a combination of different elements, who originally have nothing to share with each other. The title makes some fun of the first very serious, highliy acclaimed and very boring composition for percussions only by Mr. Varese, with a bit of Kamasutra feeling. ....CENTOVALLEY
