FT. THE KITE STRING TANGLE
SPOTIFYVIDEO
“Open Fields” are the places, literal or imagined, where you can meet versions of yourself (past, future), loved ones who have passed, or people who feel distant. More broadly, they're a metaphorical playground for personal meaning-making. If our track “Warum” asks why do we exist?, “Open Fields” replies: I can't give you the answer, but here's the only patch of reality where you can actually plant something. They're the blank canvas where potential takes root - an existential clearing where your choices grow meaning into being, regardless of creed or creed-lessness.

We are forgetful creatures. So we colour the gaps in C Major.

FT. PET DEATHS
SPOTIFYVIDEO
We must use and we must abuse. We reach for comfort with one hand and destruction with the other. Salvation and sedation - sometimes the pill is the prayer. We’re built to chase highs, even when the crash is inevitable. The cure is also always a curse. We are the cure and the curse.

Sometimes we have ideas. and sometimes we don't. and that's ok. The idea was always you.

WARNUNG0702:32
SPOTIFYVIDEO
In this episode we transform from builder to breaker, creator turned annihilator. Nietzsche nailed it 140 years ago: “If a temple is to be erected, a temple must be destroyed: that is the law.” And if we look around us, he’s still correct with this statement today. Can we ever reach escape velocity to break this pattern, or are we doomed as poop-flinging, raging chimps in a fancy designer turtleneck?
GABRIEL0802:21
SPOTIFYVIDEO
There are more messengers than messages. Who do you trust when everyone has a megaphone? Once, a prophet could shout from a mountain and be believed. Today, in an infinity of data, some of us believe everything we read online, some, nothing at all: “The Virgin Mary is pregnant.” Source: @gabriel_1BC. It's the human impulse: not to know, but to believe. Facts are verifiable, but faith is faster.

We play God by day. We manifest, optimise, visualise. We win awards and update LinkedIn profiles. But at night, who’s listening? Tell me king - after your third consecutive regional car salesman of the year trophy, who do you pray to now?
WARUM1102:48
SPOTIFYVIDEO
“Warum” is the German word for “why”. Asking why questions is the first thing we do as a child and one of the last things we do on our deathbed. Asking why is the motor that drove us to where we got to as a species. At the same time, not asking why often enough or asking the wrong questions seems to be pushing us to the brink of self-extinction. It's absurd. And it's beautiful.

ABOUT

The duo's 2026 album "Protomensch" explores humanity's paradox of being an idiotic genius—caught between innovation and world-destruction, empathy and genocidal hatred—all wrapped in a beautiful layer of love and absurdity.
