„09:00–? (Gleitzeit)“ verhandelt Arbeit nicht als abstraktes Konzept, sondern als gelebte Realität: frühe Starts, offene Enden, Kalender voller Verpflichtungen und Köpfe voller Gedanken. Der Song bewegt sich durch Büros, digitale Räume und Küchenarbeitsplätze und zeigt, wie sich Arbeitszeit längst vom festen Ort gelöst hat. Gleitzeit steht hier für Verantwortung, Vertrauen und die ständige Aushandlung zwischen Leistung und Selbstschutz. Die Fusion aus Techno-Struktur und Jazz-Offenheit spiegelt diesen Zustand: präzise, aber nie starr; organisiert, aber immer menschlich.

“09:00–? (Gleitzeit)” explores work as a shifting ecosystem rather than a schedule. It reflects how productivity, identity, and time blur when professional life extends beyond offices into private space. The song focuses on the inner experience of workers: mental load, autonomy, overstimulation, and the quiet power of choosing one’s own rhythm. Techno elements provide momentum and discipline, while jazz influences allow imperfection, pauses, and improvisation. The result is a soundscape where efficiency and emotion coexist, suggesting that modern work is not just about output, but about sustaining a self within constant motion.

Anbid Zaman is a queer activist and artist whose work rises from a life marked by displacement, resistance, and the insistence on living fully even when the world tries to deny that possibility. Born in Bangladesh and shaped by grassroots queer organizing from a young age, they grew into their voice through community struggle — learning early that courage isn’t an act, but a daily discipline.

Their journey from danger to refuge transformed them without erasing their origins. Living in Germany, Anbid continues to work at the intersections of identity, migration, and liberation, supporting queer people who face violence and navigating the complexities of chosen family, safety, and belonging. Their activism is guided by deep commitments: justice without compromise, solidarity across borders, and an unshakeable belief that marginalised voices should be heard not with pity, but with respect.

These values spill directly into their music. Anbid’s sound blends testimonial storytelling, emotional minimalism, and atmospheric layers shaped by memory — the quiet of hiding, the noise of protest, the ache of leaving, the thrill of surviving. Each track carries the weight of lived experience and the brightness of hope that refuses to die. Their art is not just expression; it is continuation, resistance, and a reminder that stories carry power long before the world acknowledges them.
