When former ballet dancer Danyx Simone and musician Dirk Henry decided to start THE KOKOON early 2000 in Berlin it wasn't clear for both of them how long this journey would take and where it would go. They both shared the same interests like their strong passion for so called "arthouse" films especially from the 60's (Godard,Truffaut, Antonioni, Fellini, Kubrick etc.) as well as the same musical references like 70's Roxy Music, Talking Heads, David Bowie or Siouxsie & the Banshees, just to name a few. From this background they've started to create the sound of THE KOKOON. It's a music that combines both influences into a very personal, story telling form, like little movies - always more than just a selection of songs and their lyrics. It's carried by the versatile, often androgynous but also sensitive character of Danyx's voice. The music varies from edgy to hard, smooth to sick but never soft really. THE KOKOON always leaves the standard , sometimes plays with it to destroy it finally - like movies without happy end or with open end. And they work slow. Two long-players in eight years don't seem to be many but every new LP takes as long as it needs to feel right and they select carefully from their impressions and inspirations until they start to work on recordings and all visuals they always create on their own like cover artwork, web site and videos.
Their actual long player "Berlin" available on iTunes and other online stores (New Average Records) is an ironic musical diary about city life style including all ups and downs, hopes and fears, being pushed or exhausted - sometimes both at the same time - and also being sick of it all. But there's always a smile remaining and the certainty that life doesn't care how you feel - it just goes on…
Their first LP "erase" released in 2004 is all about tunnels and the feelings and stories you could imagine by that. You enter a tunnel by car for example and you know there may be only one exit. You don't know what will come when you leave the tunnel but it definitely will happen. It's claustrophobic and exciting at the same time and there's no choice really - you have to move forward, in the stream of the others - but there's quiet a bit of space for little stories in the meanwhile…
THE KOKOON are Danyx Simone: vocals, bass, keys and multi instrumentalist and sound engineer/producer Dirk Henry (his credits include mixing work for "We are scientists"(crap attack 06) and engineers' and musicians' work for german multi platinum selling act "Wir sind Helden" among many other great but more or less "successful" bands).

Spring is here and so are the butterflies! This week I have a gallery of a particular group of butterflies called Brushfoots. Brushfoots are the most commonly known and encountered of the large colorful butterflies (excluding the swallowtails) found in Florida and the Americas. These include the monarchs, fritillaries, buckeyes, and the viceroy below (who has nearly identical markings as the toxic monarch butterfly) to keep it from being eaten by birds.... cool trick, huh? :-)
Click the butterfly below to see my gallery - and please let me know what you think!
