The album begins with Zipfel A, an energetic opener with sparkling synths and driving rhythms that catapults us into wild, euphoric landscapes. Lining and Zipfel B develop a manifesto of movement. Crystal-clear electronics meet explosive flashes of thought and lead us dancing through echoing corridors. Ever never go, eternal beginnings flirt with a short loop and lead us back. But where to? The room fills up, sounds swell. Those who run don't look back. Back to no return. Arm in Arm I lie with myself. I hear draconic activity around me. Briefly, it becomes shrill. Du bist das Ich zum Du, ich bin das Du zum Ich. (You are the me to the you, I am the you to the me.) You come so close to me. Like an asteroid that cannot land. The ground gives way for a moment, swampy. Filter cleans all the sounds, then the synths suck them in. Virtual flutes throw out their lassos. You run away. With a short beat, one gains firm contact with the ground. Ich zum Du, a two-minute melos of sweet timbre. AI sounds, ambient and romantic, harmony and repetition. Longing seeks its beginning, vereinte Einsamkeit, geteilte Zweisamkeit.(united loneliness, shared togetherness).

"Du kommst mir so nah. Wie ein Asteroid, der nicht landen kann. Arm in Arm liege ich mit mir. Du bist das Ich zum Du, ich bin das Du zum Ich. Arm in Arm liege ich mit mir. Samtige Sehnsucht, voller Harmonie, mit Klarheit und Gefühl. Vereinte Einsamkeit, geteilte Zweisamkeit. "

1 Zipfel A

3:42

an energetic opener full of glittering synths and driving rhythms that catapults us into wild, euphoric landscapes. This manifesto of movement is a successful challenge for any dance floor that demands clarity, feeling, and big steps forward. Precise beats are reminiscent of dub techno. At the same time, the track offers a journey through clear, wild waters far beyond the horizon. It takes us to a place where we can all find our own rhythm.

3 Zipfel B

3:58

Zipfel calls to action. First hopping, then with clear steps, we drift precisely between 4/4 time and dub techno. A successful challenge for any dance floor that demands clarity, feeling, and big steps forward. Truncated tone sequences and fragments of a melody develop a manifesto of movement. Crystal-clear electronics meet explosive flashes of thought and lead us dancing through echoing corridors.

7 Ich zum Du

2:21

a track about letting go and having the courage to start all over again. A fascinating interplay of contrasts: this consuming longing combines the cool aesthetics of an AI voice with the warmth of human romance. A dialogue unfolds between repetitive, synthetic vocals and an emotional piano melody that sets united loneliness and shared togetherness to music – a reset in the digital age. It is an intelligent, thoughtful piece of electronic music. Ambient, exploring the relationship between man and machine in a deeply emotional soundscape.
