Music to listen to while wandering through an airport; they seem to have a unique atmosphere, perhaps contributed to by the equalization of all people into 'travelers'. Unique also in cases where you may frequent a specific hub over a period of time, perhaps a lounge inside it, maybe even those who work there, that space can become a familiar and comfortable atmosphere within a city you may never step foot in.

The End

The End (Is always near)

The ancient Silk Road was mainly used to trade silk to the west and wool, gold and silver to the east . Not only merchants, scholars and armies used its network, but also ideas, religions and entire cultural groups diffused and migrated along the routes from east to west and vice versa. Nestorianism (from the late ancient Roman Empire) and Buddhism (from India) to China, for example. However, recent scholarship warns against overestimating the volume of trade (at least overland) and the transportation infrastructure of the various trade routes.

One 6,400 kilometer route began in Xi'an and followed the course of the Great Wall of China to the northwest, passing through the Taklamakan Desert, overcoming the Pamir Mountains, and passing through Afghanistan to the Levant; from there, trade goods were then shipped across the Mediterranean. Few merchants traveled the entire route; goods tended to be transported in a staggered fashion via intermediaries.

The trade and route network reached its greatest importance between 115 B.C. and the 13th century A.D. With the gradual loss of Roman territory in Asia and the rise of Arabia in the Levant, the Silk Road became increasingly unsafe and rarely traveled. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the route was revived under the Mongols; among others, at the time the Venetian Marco Polo used it to travel to Cathay (China). According to popular belief, the route was one of the main routes through which plague bacteria reached Europe from Asia in the mid-14th century, causing the Black Death there.

Auf der antiken Seidenstraße wurde in westliche Richtung hauptsächlich Seide, gen Osten vor allem Wolle, Gold und Silber gehandelt (siehe auch Indienhandel) Nicht nur Kaufleute, Gelehrte und Armeen nutzten ihr Netz, sondern auch Ideen, Religionen und ganze Kulturkreise diffundierten und migrierten auf den Routen von Ost nach West und umgekehrt: hierüber kamen z. B. der Nestorianismus (aus dem spätantiken Römischen Reich) und der Buddhismus (von Indien) nach China.[1] Allerdings wird in der neueren Forschung davor gewarnt, das Handelsvolumen (zumindest auf dem Landweg) und die Verkehrsinfrastruktur der verschiedenen Handelsrouten zu überschätzen.

Eine 6.400 Kilometer lange Route begann in Xi’an und folgte dem Verlauf der Chinesischen Mauer in Richtung Nordwesten, passierte die Taklamakan-Wüste, überwand das Pamirgebirge und führte über Afghanistan in die Levante; von dort wurden die Handelsgüter dann über das Mittelmeer verschifft. Nur wenige Kaufleute reisten auf der gesamten Route, die Waren wurden eher gestaffelt über Zwischenhändler transportiert.

Ihre größte Bedeutung erreichte das Handels- und Wegenetz zwischen 115 v. Chr. und dem 13. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Mit dem allmählichen Verlust römischen Territoriums in Asien und dem Aufstieg Arabiens in der Levante wurde die Seidenstraße zunehmend unsicher und kaum noch bereist. Im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert wurde die Strecke unter den Mongolen wiederbelebt; unter anderen benutzte sie zu der Zeit der Venezianer Marco Polo, um nach Cathay (China) zu reisen. Nach weit verbreiteter Ansicht war die Route einer der Hauptwege, über die Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts Pestbakterien von Asien nach Europa gelangten und dort den Schwarzen Tod verursachten.

Elektric Surgery - Scary Bad Bad (Fornicata Remix)

a little remark. I had finished the track with a recording of thunderstorm & rain, a didgeridoo jam, beat, bass, synth and additional  Dschembe percussion .. and wanted vocals :-) So I used that vocal acapella from a Ghosthack vocal pack, Melissa, Need You - coming to the point: I reduced the pace to 69.33% :-)) from 75 bpm to 52 bpm on a track in 104 BPM ! ... judge for yourself ;-) & have fun with this crazy combination of tribal and soul ... photo: Claudia Aran, unsplash - Manhattan

日が落ちて村にかぶさる濁り色
霊の尾が巴を描く夕の空
狐火を夕空に見てわれおびゆ
The sun sets.
My village is covered with opaque colors.
An ignis fatuus moves about in the evening sky leaving a long, thin trail. 
It draws “tomoe” in the sky. I scared.

Phantom Noise appears somewhere 
Between darkness and light 
Where paths leads 
To the shadowing delight
Making electronica in various kind
Much in retrofuturistic space ambient style
Tune in, lean back and listen for a while
