Michael 98145:

roughly translated : "the great Cologne musician and co-founder of the band "Can" died at the age of 79 years in the legendary "Can" studio – an old cinema in Weilerswist. In recent years, the musician had converted this to his apartment. The exact cause of death is unclear, the police determined.

Construction workers had not seen Czukay for several days on the premises and informed a neighbour. They looked and found Czukay lifeless in his apartment. An ambulance was only able to determine his death.
Holger Czukay, who revolutionized the world with "Can" from 1968 to 1978, died only a few days after his wife Ursula, who died on July 28 on her 55th Birthday...."

OH. They found him. And not a few hours after he died, like my brother in law. I hope he felt no pain.

@ Cecile -- from what i have read, cause of death has yet to be determined

Not sure, but it's possible the first time Can made it onto my brain pan was when Dan Bodah performed Vitamin C at the marathon finale ca. 2009 (the second year at Maxwell's). 'Spect I'd heard them on FMU before that but never took note of the name.

Fabio, I'm sorry I was not listening carefully. Was the Nitsch performance you mentioned at Marc Strauss?

I found this: "Music is one of the core pillars of Nitsch’s work, a sensory dimension that has its roots in the primal scream and in moments of excitation. Nitsch will perform an organ recital for the first time in New York. [!]

But it's not clear from that web page when this is taking place. Do you have that info?

Love this Cage quote : "When I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking. And talking about his feelings, or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic—here on Sixth Avenue, for instance—I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I love the activity of sound [...] I don't need sound to talk to me."
