about

Non-Places - A beatless ambient album about
monofunctional spaces in urban and suburban areas.
In monofunctional places like airports, shopping malls,
highways or hotels, an organic, social life is almost
impossible, because there we only follow paths ("Follow The
Path") or flow through in an orderly fashion ("Transitory
Places"). In all these places, our movements, gestures and
physical actions are monitored ("Obsessed With Optic
Control And Security"). With the help of the "Touch Screen
Monitor" we then temporarily leave these places without
anchoring to dive into the "Metaverse". Cities like Tulsa,
Oklahoma have fifty percent of the urban area designated as
parking lots, where each space has only a simple function
("Every Place Is the Same Now"). These are bleak places
where the poetics of living do not thrive. When a non-place
loses its intended function, a vibrant biotope usually
emerges.
