They met at the shores of the Licca. Oberlin came from the north, via Augusta Vindelicorum, Xu from the south via Tridentum. Like travellers of old on the Via Raetia just with the exception that their luggage contained some electronic devices, Xu brought a couple of analog synthesizers and some looper and fx pedals with him, Oberlin had a 9HE Eurorack together with his sleeping bag on his back and a guitar under the arm.
Nights were quiet, you could hear the river flow and some nightbirds from the trees. The two travellers did not want to disturb the silence too much; instead they tried to take up the atmosphere around them and to resonate it with their electronic and musical means.
So here you can listen to the musical diary of their time spent together on this ancient roman street... and when the two parted, they knew it was not forever. They would continue their journey sometime somewhere.

Notes On Belonging
