This piece covers an abandoned industrial area in the “Ruhrgebietâ€, Germany, called “Lohbergâ€. The photographs (~250) were taken there in summer 2009 on a cloudy day. The soundtrack is derived from field recordings of the Gdansk dockyard in Poland in November 2009. This somehow is a demo version of the initial piece, which is about 65 minutes long and much slower in transitions.
