My conversation and discussions with Anna Bromley about free radio, protest culture were resulting in an audio piece with poetic texts by myself, early recordings of my voice and the story of growing up in a commune of political activist, protesters of the radical left, communist and anti war movement. The red army front (RAF), police, demonstrations, squatted houses, constant discourse were not a choice for me as a kid, but daily normality. This very personal sound work tries to tell a bit about this very special sourrounding and why my approach to protest, culture is connected from being the other, the not child was never experienced "normality" and choosed protest, it was just born into a strong politcal attitude.
