Meet Italian musician Riccardo Fumagalli, who performs under as the figurehead, and whose musical journey has taken him from disintegrating Fisher Price cassettes to going from 0 to 100 on plugins.
Meet Detroit-based DJ, producer and field recordist Rebecca Goldberg, who is inspired equally by the rhythms of her home Motor City, and the rhythms of the sound of transportation.

"As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of [the city] as it is today should contain all [the city's] past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the bags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls."
