Description:
The story of A.R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz and the band "TTT (Triple Trip Touch)"
Each musician in the band TTT (Triple Trip Touch, loosely translated: three on the way to touch) receives a T. This eliminates the EGO and the musician fulfills their task in the musical piece that they develop solo or with other T's in this purely improvised structure. The resulting musical piece is an expression of the spirit of the times, as well as the musicians' motivation for the instrument.
The band was founded as such in 1984 by A.R. Penck also known as Ralf Winkler, Frank Wollny and Heinz Wollny in New York. New York was the starting point for many new T's, such as Lawrence Butch Morris, Reverend Frank Wright, Billi Bang Walker, Denis King Charles, Frank Lowe, William Parker, Jeanne Lee, Clarence C Sharpe and Lile Ellis.
From London, the band toured France, England, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, Ireland, Denmark, and Finland. After Heinz Wollny settled in Ireland, Frank Wright was brought to Rotterdam and lived there as a studio musician at the Thelonius Monk Club. Willem and Albert Coen were by his side.

After Frank Wright's death, the new TTT played with Alan Silva, Butch Morris, Louis T. Moholo, Jeanne Lee, and Gunther Hampel, including at the Cologne Stadtgarten. Through his friendship with Ingo Kümmel, Jesus Kanneloni and later Frank Köllges joined the band. After Ralf (A.R. Penck) remained in Ireland, Markus Lüpertz replaced A.R. Penck on piano.
