about

Imagine yourself having the chance to take a ride in Richard Buckminster-Fuller´s fully developed Dymaxion-car and float ergonomically and ecologically through every imaginable landscape. What music would you like to hear in it? This was the question i asked myself one day and these 4 tracks are the answer to it. I thought I´d like something floating, developing very slowly and droning very softly as I am gliding slowly though any given landscape.
So this EP is dedicated to Buckminster-Fuller and I hope you like the drift.

The album was recorded by Alexander Holtz with a eurorack-synthesizer and an electric guitar in his homestudio in Koblenz, Germany during the winter of early 2021.

SINGLE TAPES ARE AVAILABLE VIA MAHORKA RECORDS:

"the music definitely evokes a floating feeling (- and there’s no crash!)"

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303

we're all beside a wooded creek, laying on this silken mossy chord, listening as leaves tumble down in succession. the pond nearby catches each leaf and we sync our thoughts using the chain of ripples in the water. thanks a lot for this one. recommended for relaxation or when it just gets to be too much out there Ews Nsj
