product description

This album is more than a concept album; it's a kind of manifesto. It begins with spoken word leading into pure percussion. Here, it serves as a programmatic prologue. It's a "tractatus drumologico metaphysicus": "in the beginning there was..." – this is the genesis, where things become fundamental. The beat upon waking, the beat upon falling asleep, and the heartbeat in between – a syncopated heartbeat subtly permeates the entire album as a kind of leitmotif. But ultimately, it's about a genesis: how a beat becomes a rhythm. A rhythm in which existence unfolds, a rhythm in which music happens.
