Additional text
In diesem Band konzentriert sich Heine auf eine seiner Hauptinspirationsquellen, die Musik. In Form von losen Momentaufnahmen, Beobachtungen und Bildern, die am Rande der Shootings in Studios, Übungsräumen, auf der Bühne oder im privaten Umfeld entstanden, porträtierte er nationale und internationale Pop- und Rock-Größen auf sehr emotionale und bisher nicht gesehene Weise.
Neben Stars wie Coldplay, Rammstein, Metallica, Die Fantastischen Vier, Kurt Cobain, Nick Cave und Iggy Pop zeigt Heine auch klassische Musiker oder die Tänzer des renommierten Stuttgarter Staatsballetts.
Notizen, Postkarten, Tagebucheintragungen und Mitbringsel, die er in den letzten 15 Jahren auf seinen Reisen gesammelt hat, bereichern diese sehr persönliche Dokumentation.
