There is no metropolis, just pieces of a=20 huge mosaic. . . " "Because of new technologies and global play, it's possible to take in music=20 from all regions in 'real-time'. By recognizing that there are no musical=20 witchdoctors in other parts of the world, self-confidence has risen [in=20 Germany] from recognition of one's own creativity and 'new'ness.

"Centers like Frankfurt and K=F6ln are definitely important, because they=20 create concentrated musical energy that is able to move things and to=20 strengthen the mutual mental exchange.

" "It's important that each Dodge artist integrates his own identity into the=20 music instead of copying preexisting forms.
