This is a special one. Through the rework of Flâneur he created a fictious dialoque between the two composers and their different approach to the piano. He mirrors Niklas Paschburgs play and complements his melodic structure in a total different tune way below the original harmonics. All this happens above a complex loop built out of the core elements of Paschburgs track.

Frieder Nagel also had the pleasure to invite drummer Gerwin Eisenhauer in his studio, who is known for having toured the world with his infamous and challenging experimental group "Trio Elf". After sending Paschburgs piano through a collection of analogue filters creating an atmosphere of suspense the track reaches its climax where the three artists meet. Nagels synthesizers come into play and merge together with the drums, piano and all musical elements within the typical outburst of melancholic euphoria for which Frieder Nagel is loved.
