In 2002, German-born saxophonist Ulrich Krieger transcribed MMM for the ten-member, Berlin-based ensemble Zeitkratzer. Lou Reed said he thought the task was impossible, but when he heard the results he agreed to appear with Zeitkratzer in a live performance of MMM in Berlin. Since then, Krieger has left Zeitkratzer and moved to California. In 2008, Reed and Krieger formed Metal Machine Trio--MM3--along with electronics wizard Sarth Calhoun. AAJ Contributor and London correspondent John Eyles spoke with Krieger recently, about bringing MMM to life with MM3, as well as other recent activities.
