Interview
Between remembering and forgetting
The London guitarist, singer and producer Alpha Maid (aka Leisha Thomas) will move into the Nordflügel for two weeks in residence with her band and present a concert at the end. A conversation about music as an outlet and the potential of welcome «glitches».

For Alpha Maid, making music is not just part of her lifestyle, but also her work. Copyright: Alpha Maid
«There must be a subconscious trust in yourself to welcome a “glitch“ as a listener too.»
