Q&A by Artists

Johannes Malfatti: What is your first musical memory from your childhood?

As children, we first practised alone then together in a poorly soundproofed Plattenbau. Through the paper-thin walls purposely built by the government at the time for the “extra ears next door”, we could hear each other so well that we, on top of sympathising with each other’s suffering through their exercises, also developed our first improvisations. Alongside the one or other Cowboy and Indian battle that had to be fought out on the home carpeting with little toy figures, the sensitivity and sense of humour in our interplay definitely had its origins there. By the way, one of our first concerts together took place in the Galiläakirche in Berlin Friedrichshain.
