I have great admiration for David Bowie. We only had a few moments of contact. One was back in 1976 when he was at Music for 18 Musicians in Berlin and then made his beautiful Weeping Wall. Years later at the Bottom Line in 1978 during the ECM ’18’ release concert we finally met and I was invited to see David Bowie on Broadway in The Elephant Man. His performance was riveting as one watched this incredibly handsome man create a character of freakish ugliness.

More recently I was struck by his deeply sad yet commanding voice in the Love is Lost remix with Clapping Music. I’m proud to have made even a minutely small contribution to David Bowie’s incredibly varied and influential musical output. He was an absolutely brilliant and original artist whose impact was felt across many mediums.


Love both of these men.

Bowie’s "Thank You Notes" in Lazarus video


“Ain’t that just like me”

If you’ve not already seen last night’s broadcast of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, then you may find this particularly amusing.
There’s not much point in talking about it, you just have to watch it.
However, we should warn you that you may never be able to view the Lazarus video in quite the same light again.
