Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.

Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.
