"My dream is the other side of the end. You know this is the truth." Individual lines of text by R. Schappert, spoken and sung by AI voices, set atmospheric accents. We don't want to decide on a state of mind, the future is too uncertain. At the same time, we run in different directions. This journey sounds like an audio book of our ideas and feelings. Are we going forward or back?

The album combines introspective electronica with danceable emotionality. It invites you to get carried away and immerse yourself in rhythm and melody. In the now, in perhaps the most beautiful contradiction of the summer.

Sum. It’s me, the summer. Expectations always appear in a new light. Glittering waves. Organic beats and shimmering synths form a scenery of lightness and depth. A gentle breeze lifts the beat. Enticing vibes lead us to the bar. On to the dance floor. But it’s too early for that. As dusk falls, thoughtfulness and rhythm merge. This track plays with contrasts: shimmering melancholy meets warm soundscapes. For all those who don’t want to decide on a mood. This is the perfect soundtrack for the summer. No destination. Only movement. No judgment. Just feeling.

Summer reaches its peak in cloudless tones. We open all the windows to the familiar rhythm. Follow the shadow to the source of the light. It must be said. Confidence and doubt dance to the same beat. Like an echo from the future, everything rests on a velvety bass. It touches us in the now. What remains when everything was not real? Ambient electronica with melting sounds meets haunting vocals that hover between dream and reality. A voice rises, almost enraptured, almost human. “C’mon darlin’, C’mon bro, you know this is the truth. My dream is the other side of the end. The other side of the end.” The track unfolds a depth in which emotionality and artificiality meet in a fascinating way. Carried. Spherical. Honest. For moments when your head is thinking but your heart wants to keep dancing.

“C’mon darlin’, C’mon bro, you know this is the truth. My dream is the other side of the end. The other side of the end. “
