"The Crossing of Zone 3" started as a single track which Michael Brückner had recorded for a compilation project some years earlier.
When he stumbled upon it again at some point in 2021, he had almost forgotten about it and was quite pleased with how the sequences unfolded throughout.
Also, the title stirred his imagination: What is Zone 3...? What is waiting in there, and why cross it..? A vague storyline seemed to present itself.
Intrigued by this lucky archive found, Michael scanned his backup discs for more treasures that might turn out being suitable to weave the tale further.
And indeed he did find some - in the shape of material from several abandoned collaboration projects, and also some older improvisations.
Only a little remixing here, some additions there and a new final mastering were required to bring the sonic journey into life.
The result is a new suite of always evolving, sometimes dramatic and sometimes hypnotic sequencer driven epics with some islands of ambient calm in between...
