Yes indeed Stephan! Let us live in joy, sharing as we can. It is my great pleasure to be here reading your work. Il me fait plaisir! YahoooOOoooOooooo carpe diem and on y va. :) p.s. I always wonder about nominative determinism, how names influence people's life choices. Jane Goodall, George Kinder... so many examples of this. Your surname almost sounds like "Kunst" or "Art". Perhaps that would have been my question if had been aware of your questions call. Anyhow, yay for art!! WeeeEeeeEEeeeee!

Ha, that's interesting. It's not my birth name though. I took the name of my wife when we married. Before that, I was Stephan Szillus.

One reason why I took the name 'Kunze' was indeed that thought it sounded good, almost like the name of a 1970s krautrock musician – you know, like Klaus Schulze, or Edgar Froese.

Not that I’d expect anything else, but thank you for answering these questions so honestly and openly — this is fascinating reading. So many highlights (and appreciate the shout out of course!), but those tips on interview questions should be required reading for every aspiring music writer

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jake. It's always a bit scary to put yourself out there like that, but reactions like these reassure me that it's worth it.
