Christoph Gächter (1957-2005)
Christoph Gächter was a great friend of the arts, and a damned good documentarian. I met him in April 2002, while in Aarau, Switzerland during rehearsals for the first OHNE tour.
He died on Tuesday.
Stöff, accompanied by Corinne Studer, his fellow videographer and erstwhile girlfriend, joined us on our trek through a great swath of Eastern Europe. They drove the van, dealt with our ego trips, and shot mountains of digital video.
He left his mark on my life, and I'm really going to miss him. Absolutely one of a kind.
R.I.P., good Stöff!

Comments
Christoph was a regular guy, fraught with the normal sorts of foibles all of us share. He was also blessed with singular talents.
His friends celebrate his life, and mourn his passing.
