Lou Reed is dead

I am sad that Lou has passed away.
My feelings toward him have been very complicated during the last two years.
Now it is too late to make up.

Thank you, Lou, for letting me share in your way of music making.
You are welcome for the contributions I was able to make.

Lulu - Lou Reed & Metallica

LULU (the album by Lou Reed & Metallica you all probably heard about) is out now since over a month. Sadly, a pretty bad typo has not been corrected in time: Ulrich Maas plays the cello on two of the titles. Well, there is no cellist by that name - it is me, Ulrich Maiss who performs on that CD.


Maybe future editions will be corrected, so this here is just for the record…

Also, I did not play any string arrangements. I was in the studio with Lou in March recording improvisations. Call it "instant composing" if you like. It was a very creative and intimate process which led to the music for the play "LULU" directed by Robert Wilson.
The material on "Little Dog" and "Frustration" comes from these sessions.

So, finally, after almost 2 months the spelling of my name has been corrected online…wow!
