Life of a character
Klaus Nomi was born in Berlin, Germany on 1944 1 24. In the 1960s, as a welcome in the German Opera House in West Berlin, he sang to introduce and maintain the crew on the stage in front of the fire curtain after the performance. At that time, he was also singing Arias at the gay discothèqueKleist casino in Berlin.
Naomi moved to new york in 1972. He participated in the art scene in the East Village. According to a documentary produced by Cape Andrew, Naomi learned to sing and supported her work as a pastry chef.
1972, Naomi appeared in the satirical Richard Wagner's Rhine Golden Camp to produce CharlesLudlam, an absurd theater company for rheinmaidens and Woodbirds. Naomi came to the art scene in new york to pay attention to 1978 and his performance in "New Wave Juggling". On the fourth night, MC will be hosted by artist Edgeworth Beresford David Mott. Wearing a tight spacesuit with a transparent plastic cape, Naomi sang the aria MonC_URs'ouvreàTA ("Myheartopenstoyourvoice") in CamilleSaint-Sa_ns 1877 opera SamsonetDalila. The performance ended with a chaotic flash, a collapsed smoke bomb, and a loud electronic sound effect award retreated to smoke. JoeyArias recalled: "I still get goose bumps. I think it's like he's from a different planet and his parents are calling him." When the smoke cleared, he left. "The reaction was so positive that he was invited to perform in the club in new york. In the new round of singing and dancing performance, Klaus Nomi met Mumps.Hoffman, a composer of mumps. Mumps.Hoffman is an actor and the second incarnation of MC's juggling in the new wave, and close friends of SusanHannaford and TomScully, who produced the program, and AnnMagnuson, who directed it.
AnyaPhillips, then James's chances are distorted by the manager's suggestion that Naomi and Hoffman form a band. Hoffman became Naomi's de facto music director, assembling a band, including Webwood from a new round of variety shows, coming right, and JoeKatz, who had been a part-time teacher among students, accidents, and mumps.
Hoffman helped Nomi choose his popular coverage, including LouChristie's song LightningStrikes》Hoffman wrote several popular songs, and Nomi was closely identified with them: After TheNomiSong, TotalEclipse and AfterTheFall, and SimpleMan, the second RCA French LP of Nomi's title song.

Klaus Nomi's unfinished symphony, or opera, or "western space". This is also a song he performed, which is the title of this new version. Loose translation, which means heaven, or "appointed" hometown. He left recordings, photos and some videos, but if you were never in the same room with him, you would never know. An actor's amazing vocal ability and more amazing appearance, Klaus Nomi has no companions, because he left this world prematurely, never knowing, he may have applied these talents. When he left the earth on1August 6, 983, Klaus took his MagnumOpus-a to work. We always thought that the resolution would be called "ZaBakdaz" or "Nomi Home".
