SynthfreakSonnenuntergang"Sonnenuntergang" is the german word for a sunset. It marks the end of a day, nearly everything comes to it's end and slows down. It's the final track in the Dreilützow album, in the temporal order. That doesn't means, that the work is done, I will sometimes upload some tracks and put them in the middle of the album.
But after all this explanations, now listen and enjoy, and as always, feel free to comment.

SynthfreakGutskapelleThe "Gutskapelle", a chapel belonging to a big farm, is the village church of Dreilützow. It's build in the 15th century in gothic style. In the 18th century, the quadratic steeple has been added.
I've never been in the church, although I've seen it many times from the outside. But imagine you stand in this silent and dark room. Then you walk into the light, passing through the windows and in this athmospheric air, you wouldn't wonder if you would see angels.
