Distorted Memories\u201d<\/strong>, recently published in Polish by Gusstaff Records, is the autobiography of Alexander Hacke \u2013 a unique artist, musician of Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten, and an icon of the German independent music scene. The book traces his path from the Berlin underground to international success.<\/p>\n<p>Although <strong>Alexander Hacke<\/strong> was fascinated by classical music as a child (Ludwig van Beethoven), he dropped out of school as a teenager to become part of Berlin\u2019s underground scene, dominated by punks, squatters, and other freaks. After his first projects under the pseudonym Alexander von Borsig, he joined the newly formed band Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten in 1980, which quickly became an icon of the German independent scene and one of the most important industrial bands in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In the book \u201cBlast. Distorted Memories\u201d (original title: \u201cKrach. Verzerrte Erinnerungen\u201d), Alexander Hacke writes not only about the band, but also about his private life (including his relationship with Christiane F. \u2013 author of the cult book \u201cWe Children from Bahnhof Zoo\u201d), dozens of side projects and other bands he played with (such as Jever Mountain Boys, Crime &#038; The City Solution, Baba Zula), his collaboration with Italian pop superstar Gianna Nannini, film music, the Turkish music scene he presented as a narrator in the film \u201cCrossing the Bridge\u201d (\u201cMusic is Life\u201d), and of course about the love of his life, Danielle de Picciotto, and their joint duo hackedepicciotto. Hundreds of anecdotes and stories from concert tours\u2014sometimes funny, sometimes like scenes from a thriller\u2014concern not only himself but also a vast number of artists from around the world with whom Hacke has collaborated.<\/p>\n<p>The book will undoubtedly appeal both to fans of Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten and to anyone fascinated by the music scene from the 1980s to the present day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participants:<\/strong> Alexander Hacke (author) and Janusz Mucha (translator, publisher).
