What an amazing ambience! The reverberant sound is very special. The supporting instrumentation/ tones is ethereal! Awesome work of art.

Great orchestra. Nice vocalization and inspirational.

The Omnibus Ensemble did a good thing there, and what a haunting voice. Appropriately Expressionistic song. I especially like the deep undertone.

Outstanding track! i really enjoy the atmosphere and textures . Mysterious and creative 🙂

A haunting quality. Unsettling and beautiful in equal measure.

Very spooky and mysterious track, love it. Incredible soundscapes

This piece was written specially for the second edition of the "Omnibus Laboratorium" in Tashkent in August 2006. The piece was inspired by Georg Heym's Berlin I:

Beteerte Fässer rollten von den Schwellen 
Der dunklen Speicher auf die hohen Kähne. 
Die Schlepper zogen an. Des Rauches Mähne 
Hing rußig nieder auf die öligen Wellen. 

Zwei Dampfer kamen mit Musikkapellen. 
Den Schornstein kappten sie am Brückenbogen. 
Rauch, Ruß, Gestank lag auf den schmutzigen Wogen 
Der Gerbereien mit den braunen Fellen. 

In allen Brücken, drunter uns die Zille 
Hindurchgebracht, ertönten die Signale 
Gleichwie in Trommeln wachsend in der Stille. 

Wir ließen los und trieben im Kanale 
An Gärten langsam hin. In dem Idylle 
Sahn wir der Riesenschlote Nachtfanale.
