The composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and I paid a visit to the studio of Thilo Heinzmann, the Berlin based artist. As we arrived Thilo was listening to Jóhann's "
Englaborn". If you don't know it I strongly recommend it.

Thilo and Jóhann are collaborating on a project, one of the end points of which will be a composition by Jóhann called
"12 conversations with Thilo Heinzmann". This meeting at the studio was the 4th conversation, in which I was very pleased to be able to participate.
Jóhann is recently back from a trip to the South Pole - and we noted that in a funny parallel some of Thilo's polystyrene pictures have an iceberg like quality. Thilo has been in Paris looking at impressionist paintings, and I think the result has been to inject a wider colour palette into some of his paintings.

The project has 8 more conversations to go, and I will blog about it again later in the year.
