Non-Places – A beatless ambient album about overcoming monofunctional spaces in urban and suburban areas.

I can no longer stand this waste of space and resources ("Make Your Roof Electric"), the chaos on the cloning traffic routes ("Multi-Lane Chaos") and these useless, capital and space-destroying parking lots ("Harvest On Endless Parking Lots"). Instead of soil sealing, I would like to see endless, civilization-empty spaces with lush nature again ("Civilization-Empty Spaces") and certainly not a valley full of fast fashion waste ("Dump For Fast Fashion") like in Chile or be stranded in distress on the Pacific Plastic Island ("Pacific Waste Vortex"). Stupid for us, "Time Is Against Us"!
