Thommy Silence

Thommy Silence is an artist, music producer and audio engineer who also creates mixed media artworks and performances. He undertook several finally failed attempts to fit in a bourgeois normed german life. After university-entrance diploma, skilled manual work, technical studies, law school and initiated dissertation, the advertised personal and intellectual freedom did not adjust as hoped. As an always admired Professor told him one day: "I also wanted to be free, but in fact we are all working in a factory until we are 60, then we are more or less well paid dying very slowly..." Thommy decided to break out of the industrially standardized life and to strive for mentally free musical activity. Based on Publius Cornelius Tacitus, his posy is: 'If silence is the honor of the slaves, speech is the duty of the free.'
