Recordist's notes
We're in the large hall of the city library/ VHS building. It’s probably been the last event here before the second lock down begins on Monday… For the past 90 minutes we listened to Hermann Schulz's storytelling, a first reading from his manuscript for a yet to be published book. Joseph Mahame had accompanied Schulz’s journey with his musical stories and sounds. While Herrmann Schulz is still talking with interested listeners, a spontaneous jam session unfolds… find the recordings of the event archived here: https://archive.org/details/Lesung_HermannSchulz_mit_JosephMahame_2020
