The story
Seventeen years making music. As The Unborn Child I founded a label, played at Razzmatazz, at HÖR Berlin, where I dreamed of playing.
And many nights I came home with nothing inside. Intensity got confused with worth. Being «active» felt like the same thing as existing.
I left the stage. I also left the drugs. I started over, without the noise that held me up. This book is what I saw in that silence.
What you do isn't the problem. The life around what you do usually is.
There's a kind of productivity that doesn't make you better: it deafens you.
The first loss isn't creative: it's presence.
You're not arriving late to your life.
What it's about
It's not a manual or a collection of quotes. It's the map of a real change: from noise to presence, and from presence to a career that holds. No promises of miracles. With concrete practices: body first, minimum habits, limits, judgment.
