On this Berlin date, his Sound Carriers include Ilpo Väisänen of Pan Sonic and Dirk Dresselhaus of Schneider TM, among other remarkable types. This instant composition was performed at the club Marie-Antoinette. The renowned filmmakers Lucía Palacios and Dietmar Post captured the concert in one continuous 120-minute take.
