Teddy had the tambourine, and gave the cue to the piano player-I never got to know him: a long dark, evil-looking brother, with hands made for strangling; and with these hands he attacked the keyboard like he was beating the brains out of someone he remembered.

However, society always imposes on us a collective ways of behaving, and people never stop to wonder why they should behave like that.

I also became a session player, which culminated in my work with Tangerine Dream.
