I Am Damo Suzuki

Tribute to the late great Damo Suzuki. Vocalist with Can, 1970-73, one of the most influential German bands ever.

 

Afterwards, he performed live improvised music with local musicians whom he described as “sound carriers”, forming what was dubbed Damo Suzuki’s Network.

 

Born 16 January 1950; died 9 February 2024.

 

My photo collage attempts to reflect Damo's musical style - improvised, of the moment, experimental, idiosyncratic, and without rules.

 

Taken in Coventry at The Tin Music and Arts, 12 February 2020, playing with local musicians The Resurrection Men (Casey, Miles, Mochrie, Parge and Wurzul).

 

“When by accident something happens, it’s much more interesting than if you plan it. I like to live the whole of my life quite free like this.”
