Only magic moments

Among BIG people we had the chance to meet or exchange a few words, there are many artists of course, such as Prince at the New Morning, The Boss in Paris, La Callas in Athens, and some of us even played billard with Mel Gibson.

Browse the headlines and find out if the 2 Michelin Chef Star Thierry Marx eats at McDonald’s and get a few tips if you’re a foodie. E-meet also Natalia Olenicoff Ostensen to learn about her legacy.

In short, if you’d like to “meet” BIG people, here is your chance.

So we met (and danced) with Dr. Max Cooper, Ph.D. in Computational Biology, and DJ; Jason Beck AKA Chilly Gonzales who wrote a song for Daft Punk and performed at the Victoria Hall with his sleepers on.

Among the Big people we met, here are a few quotes which have inspired us

 

Love life, Feed life, Teach life, Protect life, Serve life

Professeur Kalangos, founder of the Fondation Kalangos.

Life cannot be a mistake, with or without music. 

Chilly Gonzales, genius.

I am looking for enthusiasm and open-mindedness. 

Luke Cresswell, co-founder of the STOMP show with 17 million de visitors.

No one is Bigger than the Kid
Prince at the New Morning in Paris? A recurring joke... except that with the Kid, it's never a joke. Remember June 87. On the night of July 22 to 23, 2010, 3h30 of an ecstatic show for 500 crazy Parisians!

15min with Luke Cresswell
A few weeks before STOMP returns to Switzerland, Luke Cresswell – one of the two founders of the show – was visiting My Big Geneva. The artist has never been interviewed in Switzerland so I jumped at the occasion to meet him in person and ask him a few questions.

Prelude with Chilly Gonzales
Composer of “Within” (Daft Punk), Chilly Gonzales (aka Jason Beck) holds the record for the longest concert in history since 2009. Critics often compare him to Erik Satie, I don't compare him to anyone.
