composed by Kaja Draksler
recorded by George Dumitriu, except the double bass, recorded by Lennart Heyndels
postproduction and mix by Kaja Draksler

This composition was written and recorded during the lock down in April 2020. To amplify the isolation we have all been experiencing, I asked the musicians to record their parts without listening or seeing the parts of the other members of the group. I was not in contact with the musicians during the recording period, as I was interested in (mis)communication and (mis)interpretation. During the postproduction and mixing, I tried to preserve the feeling of seclusion. The isolation therefore became the ninth member of the ensemble.
