music trivial
Music is not simply an orchestration of something, but it's also not something as trivial as honesty.
accepting finished pleasure realised school suddenly took true
At some point, when I finished school in Zurich, I suddenly realised that I was nobody. I couldn't find a shape. Everything I was had been invented. Initially, I took it to be a fundamental conflict. But today I find pleasure in accepting that this thing called 'identity' is the true invention. There's no way that it really exists.
bad intense love
I love such an intense lifestyle. I feel bad otherwise.
exist lied maybe music possibly quite
I lied a lot when I was a kid. Somehow, I still do this today, but maybe in another way - not quite as ridiculously clumsily as I used to. But still, I think making music has a lot to do with it. One invents something that one can't possibly be. With songs, one invents a world that wouldn't exist otherwise.
exist history home
Home is where I am. Sadly, I don't need a history to be able to exist somewhere.
belong belongs beyond borders clear heard music occurred simply swiss
I don't know what Swiss musicians need to do to be heard beyond the borders of their own country. It was always clear to me that I belong everywhere, that music belongs everywhere. It simply never occurred to me that I had to limit myself to a country.
