"That silence, emptiness and reduction of the world; that feeling inside and outside of oneself, the feeling of producing and not possessing; that break in the language, that inner search that manifests itself in external reasons and turns towards the internal.

The piece was compose at Clouds (Rajmil Fischman software), Spear (Michael Klingbeil) and edited at Ableton live 9.
