„The track was recorded in full length on a microcassette tape with a microcassette recorder 2015 in Bergkamen, Germany. It starts with the sound of me pressing the record button and ends with the sound when the tape was at his end and the maschine automatially stops it. In between you might possibly hear sounds from lorries and myself taking a nap from my business as a stipent from Stadtbesetzung, Urban Art with my project Asphaltbibliotheque.“
