1. In producing your artist album, "In Between," what has served as your musical inspiration?

Everything i see and experience is an inspiration, so life in general.

2. You grew up in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, how did you get exposed to Western music that was considered forbidden at the time?

I was lucky enough to grow up in East Berlin. So i was able to listen to west Berlin radio stations.

NE LE DIS A PERSONNE (Tell No One) is the second full-length film by French heartthrob Guillame Canet of THE BEACH fame.  It is a film adaptation of American novelist Harlan Coben's thriller of the same name.  The film is about a physician's (Francois Cluzet) struggle to cope with the loss of his wife eight years ago, who was a victim of a vicious serial killer.  The discovery of two corpses in the area where his wife's body was found mutilated, brings back not only memories for Dr. Beck, but also heralds the return of ghosts from the past.  Canet's sophomore effort keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats with his expert use of the camera to provide them with a first person's perspective of the events as they transpire.  This, combined with the use of flashbacks keep the audience constantly guessing as to what will happen next.   Reminiscent of Andrew Davis' THE FUGITIVE and Clint Eastwood's MYSTIC RIVER, TELL NO ONE is a modern day take on the classic thriller plot of who-killed-whom-and-will-the-guy-who's-framed-be-able-to-uncover-the-real-story-and-exonerate-himself.

Ever since I can remember, I've always preferred the nighttime to daytime.  Growing up, I have memories of my grandmother rousing me out of bed at noon, reprimanding me for staying up late again and not being able to wake up early enough for breakfast.  At that time, the reason why I'd be up late was because I was hungrily devouring a Mario Puzo or  Harold Robbins novel, under the covers with the aid of a flashlight.  This was before my tenth birthday, so I guess reading a book of that sort, at that age, was better accomplished under the covers rather than in broad daylight.

I have no such excuse at this time, now that I'm old enough to read soft-core porn novels, among other things.  The best I can come up with would be partying until the wee hours, dancing the night away, drinking the blues away.  The best thing about this is that now, I know that I would be reprimanded by no one and that there are other people who share the very same affliction of being unable to sleep at night.  I have late night text and email buddies I can commiserate with.  But of course, there are nights (or early mornings, more appropriately, I guess) when the rest of the world is asleep and friends from the other side of the globe are just too busy working, living their normal a.m. lives to chat with you.   What now, you say?  Well, one can read a book, or surf the Internet to one's heart's content.  Problem solved.
