All tracks composed, arranged and performed by Frank Rothe and Mario Schönwälder. Guitar on “Kaltwasserhahn” played by Thomas “Tom” Köhler. The tracks 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 were recorded between January and December 2023 at “The Room” in Berlin. The track 4 was recorded during a live session on 25th March 2023 at Frank´s place.

The “Weltmaschine” (World Machine) was built between 1958 and 1981 by the Austrian farmer Franz Gsellmann. A machine without a function, but perhaps with a life of its own. For us, it is a fascinating document of a man’s will to create something that came into his head.
