A Felt Hat Review interview

I was recently interviewed by Hubert Heathertoes of The Felt Hat Review. Here goes: When we talk about the progress and the artist’s body of work, there is always a narrow margin where the inspiration comes into the scene? How that (un)godly particle worked in your early years? Well, inspiration is something you can’t really neglect. It’s the spark that leads to the fire of creation. It goes beyond concepts like “motivation” and “drive.” In order to do anything beyond the merely causal and mundane, you need inspiration – a breath of fresh air. And the best way is simply to be aware and open-minded as you’re exposed to different kinds of input. I grew up in a cultured home and had lots of input. That meant I could freely orient myself and see what filled me with a resonance that could then be nurtured into pure inspiration. A lot of that came from negation, actually. Learning what you don’t like teaches you what you actually do like. I early on liked horror films on TV, and that seeped...

Summing up in 2020 vision

What a year! A tumultuous ride through highs and lows, sighs and blows. And it just didn’t seem to want to let go… But eventually it did! Hooray! What happened? In time for Genesis’s 70th birthday on February 22nd, Trapart Books published Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Sacred Intent – Conversations with Carl Abrahamsson 1986-2019. Very happy to have achieved that, and so was Gen. As Vanessa and I were preparing to go to New York mid March to promote that book and have a book talk and signing together with Gen (as well as a million other fun things!), the pandemic hit. We cancelled our trip at about the very same time as the US barred people from coming in… Faît accompli, and a spiral, viral bummer to boot. And even more so the news of only a day or two later: Genesis died on March 14th, 2020. Although we’ve been able to process this demise for some nine months now, it’s still hard to fully come to terms with. Then it was full on pandemic time, which basically meant self isolation for us...

Cinematicks: Seven Years In Tibet (1957)

Some people are just larger than life. Whatever happens to them seems to be filled with magic and serendipities. Meetings, travels, adventures, creativity and all the other things that matter in life are sprayed like stardust on their brows, and they roll with it in inspiring ways.  Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer (1912-2006) was certainly one of these people. While on an expedition to climb the Nanga-Parbat peaks in the Himalayas, the second world war broke out. Harrer was interned by the British in India, but managed to escape after several attempts. He went straight over the Himalayas together with fellow mountaineer Peter Aufschnaiter and headed for the almost mythical capital of Shangri-La-cum-Tibet. That is, Lhasa. Not only did they reach Lhasa; Harrer also eventually became the teacher of the 14th Dalai Lama and stayed for… That’s right: seven years in Tibet. As if that wasn’t cool enough, the Dalai Lama also provided the Austrian with a home movie camera, so he could...
