It´s about the moments when you realize all things are just gliding away, nothing stays, no matter how long you had the certain feeling, something could or would. It´s like tiny feathers blown from a window sill by the slightest move of air. Some old memories occur, some piano-lines you heard long ago, they wander through your mind a while, you play some guitar notes to accompany them, even loop them in order to make them stay, but nevertheless they will fade after a while and you probably would not want to hear them endlessly anyway. Some vioces from ancient radio-days sway hrough the room and out of the window again. You let them go and stay alone in the blue room again, reach for a book and there are some tiny flies searching the light of the lamp. Memories and momentary impressions join in these recordings at least just for a little while.

The sound here is lofi. The hiss and crackled are regarded as a part of the whole.

Recorded in January 2021 in Obelin´s home-studio in Koblenz, Germany.
All instruments (eurorack modular, field-kit, piano and guitar) by Alexander Holtz

Cover-photo: A. Krauß
