The latter he’ll be undertaking live on November 7th in Kreuzberg. Three doors of a DDR prison in Saxonia are provided in it’s natural grey for Jim to design them. Moreover, the multi-talented Jim will also be presenting his latest album for the first time during a musical performance on the final evening of the Art WallBreakers Festival. Under the name NEOANGIN, the musician Avignon has already released 9 CDs with electronic music since 1997.
