Dieter Meier, born in 1945 in Zurich and now mostly resident in L= os Angeles, was awarded t= he culture prize of his home city this year and can look back on a notable oeuvre. As an unconventional musician and performance artist, Dieter Meier enjoys hu= ge popularity. Together with Boris Blank, he exercised considerable influence on and helped to shape the European and American tech= no and dance scene. In the meantime many of the tracks on the 11 YELLO albums, which hav= e sold over seven million copies, have lon= g become genuine classics. YELLO's music has al= so been used in many American film productions (including Ferris Bueller's "Day Off", "Ford Fairlane", "Santa Clause", "Miami Vice"). And "T= he Race" is one of the favourite soundtracks for international sports media when sports events are s= et to music. Already in 1972 Dieter Meier w= as chosen to represent Switzerland at the renowned, contemporary art exhibition "Dokumenta 5" in Kassel, which resulted in invitations to other prestigious exhibitions and festivals. His short films and videos were shown at festivals such as Cannes, the "Art Film Festival I.C.A." (London), the "Tokyo Film Festival", the "Film Festival Cultural Program of the Olympi= c Games" (Munich), "Experimata 5" (Knokke), the "Cinema sperimentale europeo" (Genoa) = as well as at the "New York Museum of Modern Art= " (New York) and they are listed and immortalised among the 50 best music videos of all ti= me by the music world's Bible "Rolling Stone". Moreover exhibitions at art museums in Lucerne and Winterthur, the "Kunsthaus" in Zurich and the "Galerie Nacional de Arte Moderna" in Lisbon have featured Meier's work. No less than 11 international video awards and the T=FCrler media prize demonstrate the recognition this multi-talented and original communicator enjoys. After Meier's first cinema fil= m, "Jetzt und Alles" (Now and Everything), in Los Angeles the finishing touches are now bein= g applied to his ambitious project "Snowball/Th= e Lightmaker", which will be released during 1998. # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 May 1998 17:01:39 -0400 From: "Kenn Roessler" Subject: (yello) Re: "Snowball" Sorry about the bad organization of the previous email.

Whoever said that discussing wives and girlfriends has no place on the Yello mailing list is completely correct. That, however, doesn`t stop me. I`ve just seen GI Jane and I`ve now fallen in love with Demi Moore. She is gorgeous, hard as nails and swears alot! What more could a 28 year old maniac want?? I was talking to this excellent girl last night. She was also gorgeous and I nearly fell in love with her. But then I got too drunk and all I can remember now is that she had blonde hair and her nose was pierced.
