Patenbrigade: Wolff

ELECTRONIC AMBIENT FOR TOWER CRANE CONDUCTORS Sven Wolff (of the former band The Dust of Basement) and Lance Murdock make no secret of their obsession with heavy machinery.

However, the focus of their fervent adoration became the gravity-defying conductors in their seemingly never-ending tower cranes.
