A surprising CD by a German musician living in Utrecht,
containing 35 minutes of very minimal, hissy and adventurous
popsongs. Her influences range from experimental analogue
electronics to mid-nineties lo-fi, with melodic sound-sketches
put together as an audio-notebook.

after a summer rain, you have to make sure to step on either
only puddles or no puddles at all.

and distorted, fading voices a minimalistic crackling toy
orchestra in slow motion. member: ellen evers. tools: guitar,
