“I've done choir since I was tiny, and I've always tried to get into plays. They all just meshed together. Now with my career, especially with music, people are like, "Which one do you pick?"

“NEU!'s music will always ("für immer") be a part of me and I absolutely stand to what we've created. Of course I have changed since and I judge my contributions to NEU!'s music of the 70's in a historical context. They were both a description of my feelings back then as well as an expression of my musical abilities and limitations. It would be a mistake to ignore the time factor and it would be an artistic shortcoming to pick up on the old concept without doing any changes. There is no way this is going to happen anyway.” WayWellsFeelingsHappensWould BeCoursesAbilityMistakeChangedExpressionJudgingPicksConceptsHistoricalMusicalFactorsArtisticLimitationContributionDescriptionShortcomingsI Have ChangedHistorical ContextMusical Ability Author:Michael Rother
