Insomnia might seem like a liability for someone who needs to be creative and sharp, but not always. Sleeplessness can give the eye another perspective – as if seeing through a kind of kaleidoscope: The things on the other end are the same, but they look different, other. Tim Berne didn't sleep the night before he and a choice international octet recorded INSOMNIA live in the studio, summer 1997.
