The limits of a digital game are best if you do not notice them or if they are narrative in themselves. If you feel well in a defined area, because it already gives you enough riddles and contains mysteries, you do not want to go outside. On the other hand, there is the attraction of the forbidden, the question of what lies behind it. 

In the game DOOM, there is a separate cheat code for exiting the given margin: "noclip". Once activated, I can walk through walls and enemies, and the outer walls of each level are no longer an obstacle. 


Actually, I turn on the mini-map and see that I'm getting more and more out of the existing world into the big nothing, farther and farther away from the familiar spaces, towards an infinite void. DOOM does not crash, but the further I step out of the designed room, the more the presentation becomes a confusing loop: walls, enemies, even my weapon multiply, dissolve in a thick layer of overlays. This is not for all eyes, and yet a feature. 

"Noclip" is for those geeks who are happy to have discovered something that no-one has ever seen before. At least believe it.

this album was recorded in an empty 400 square meter hangar with 30 meters high ceiling just to let the sound breath as much as possible. 

the huge reverb inspired to dig deeper into the world of floating atmospheres and ambient drones. 

the production is packed with solo-driven moods along with synth and pedalboard-spirit, heavy post-rock tracks in a classic band-setup as well as experimental collaborations with different artists, bringing in their own way to get along with this very different recording situation
