Based on a field recording from Schipol airport the track is an aural adventure into the amazing layers of tonality, poetry and rhythms to be found from the soundworld of a modern airport.

Story behind the song
This is a sample from Musictrade release MT003: Norbert 2005 Field Mixes. Amsterdam was one of the stopovers for Electroteque on his long journey from Sydney, Australia, to Norberg, Sweden, to play in a Musictrade showcase. This offered him a chance to make a field recording from Schipol airport. In his mix Doc treats the airport as a musical instrument, bringing up both the incessant, efficient heartbeat of the sophisticated airport complex and the amazing layers of tonality and poetry hidden in the apparently chaotic mixture of announcements, random discussions, footsteps, machine sounds and ambient noises.
