Thomas Meinecke was born in Hamburg, Germany. He studied theater, German literature, and communication at Munich’s LMU, earning his master’s degree and writing for the underground magazine Mode & Verzweiflung.
In 1980, he cofounded the band Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle (F.S.K.), which continues to record today, and since 1985 has worked as a club and radio DJ.
He is the author of six novels, all of which use an innovative writing technique similar to music sampling. This approach allows him to deal with a variety of topics, from popular culture, music, and gender roles to the Jewish, and African Diaspora in the United States.
The event is co-sponsored by German & Russian, WGSS, and Music.
