Aufnahmesitzungen sind intensiv und schön zugleich. Das habe ich gelernt, als ich die Gelegenheit hatte, das Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra während ihrer Sitzung im Jahr 2014 zu fotografieren. Es fand im wunderschönen HAU1 statt, aber das war nur ein Bruchteil der Schönheit, deren Zeuge ich war. Ihre Musik traf mich wie eine Mauer aus beruhigenden Klangexplosionen - und ich meine das auf die positivste Art und Weise. Es war eine großartige Erfahrung, und soweit ich mich erinnern kann, mein erster und letzter Dreh (bis jetzt), den ich ohne Schuhe machen musste.
