All Those Streets I Must Find Cities For" by The Plastik Beatniks is an attempt to acoustically reanimate Bob Kaufman‘s poems in a transatlantic collaboration. Andreas Ammer ("Ammer & Einheit"), brothers Markus and Micha Acher ("The Notwist") and loop maker Leo Hopfinger ("LeRoy") formed "The Plastik Beatniks." On the eastern side of the Atlantic they composed music and crafted soundscapes. On the west side of the ocean, they asked four of the most renowned singers, activists and producers in the U.S. to recite or sing Bob Kaufman's poetry, a Beat-era poet who was as great as he was forgotten. Patti Smith, Moor Mother , Angel Bat Dawid, DoseOne and beat chronicler Raymond Foye, who still lives at the Chelsea Hotel in New York, contributed an interview he conducted with late beatnik Allen Ginsberg about Bob Kaufman. "Someone whom I am is no one / Something I have done is nothing Someplace I have been is nowhere / I am not me What of the answers / I must find questions for? All these strange streets I must find cities for, Thank god for beatniks." Bob Kaufmann
