A house becomes a home when its objects become belongings. Through repetitions, creatures of habit leave evidence. โHabitat IIโ tenderly reflects on the kind of motions that leave flattened indentations on a welcome mat, laid in front of a door that promises refuge.
Habitat (what we might now properly refer to as Habitat I) arrived, fully-formed, in 2021โthe product of a conscientious, exploratory, and decidedly Covid-era collaboration between two Berlin-based experimental musicians: the composer N. (Niklas) Kramer, and percussionist, J. (Joda) Foerster.
Inspired by the Italian architect, Ettore Sottsass, Habitatโs simple, albeit beguiling conceit (following in the footsteps of canonical ambient releases like Music for Airports and Plantasia) was that each track ought to represent a room in an imagined building. Taken quite literally, tracks like โCurved Hallwayโ guided the listener through a kind of psychogeographic labyrinth, at once welcoming and slightly uncanny.
Habitat II operates on a similar premise. But if Habitat I charted the perplexing intricacies of an imagined, self-contained structure, Habitat II expands the conceptual realm. Think now, not only of rooms in a hypothetical home, but of the winding hallways and grounds of a mid-century structureโperhaps slightly past its prime, but not at all an inappropriate venue for a late-night soiree.
