As a 10 year old boy in in the sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, we sang Brahm’s lullaby (Wiegenelied) every night before the lights were turned out and we were supposed to sleep.

Kim is an Englishman who lives in Berlin. He makes small moving things in the cellar. Sometimes servomotors make things happen, controlled by some electronics. Othertimes all you need is your fingers. After all, it is the small things in life which are important. Kim wears glasses, has a small beard and sometimes wears oddContinue reading “Who is Kim?”
