about

Vivian goes out on the street.
Taking pictures of the people that she sees.

Vivian takes care of the kids.
Now they’re older and they’re wondering where she is.

Newspapers stacked up all across her room
“Hippies charged with murder” – “Men walk the moon”
Wall Street Journal, 2009: Vivian is making headlines

Doch die Musik des Berner Quintetts erzählt dazu ihre eigene Geschichte. Die fünf MusikerInnen haben ihre Wurzeln im Jazz, schwelgen aber auch in der Unbekümmertheit des Pop und mögen die Direktheit von Spoken Word. ... more
