The album is an individual approach to some Berlin School elements, its main piece is "Time passing by" - a composition incorporating something I've always wanted to do, a main theme loosely based on Klaus Schulze's iconic "Crystal Lake"/"Xylotones" (which somehow seems to be underrepresented among KS tribute tracks). While the more orthodox Berlin School style of music is not what I aim to do primarily, this tribute track somehow needed or wanted to be done. The other tracks feature some Berlin elements and combine them with the kind of more minimalistic ambient and repetitive soundscapes and sound paintings I like to do, without drums or distinct lead sounds, some of them extremely long (on my YT channel). I prefer to use abstract electronic sounds and avoid using samples or sampled instruments mostly.
Thanks to Michael Brückner, Lasse Kliemann and Pablo Bilbao.

The longest track inmediately reminded me of KS "Mirage". Great album.
