The Noise of the Present

When scheduling a studio visit with Lenz Geerk, I couldn’t have foreseen Adele being mentioned more than once in the conversation. Not that mentioning the sentimental British music icon matters or changes anything, but I figured I’d use that information as a hook at the beginning of this text. Maybe not even a hook, but a way to set the tone as confusion right at the beginning. Because, as I learned in an almost 2-hour-long chat, scented with cigarette smoke and flavored with coffee and Austrian chocolate, ambiguity is particularly important to the Swiss-born German artist.
