re: Ester Brinkmann. Esther Brinkmann is the name of Thomas Brinkmann's late sister; she died when Thomas Brinkmann was two years old. He uses Ester instead of Esther because Ester is German for ether, a gas. Not only are his records fascinating to listen to and see, you should hear this man talk about the processes involved and music in a general sense. wow. soon as I have a chance i'll get the brinkmann interview online on http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition that was conducted yesterday morning.
