LITTLE DRAGON There‘s a dragon up in the sky it holds a skeleton and I wonder why. It looks like a soldier covered with scars - delegated by its leader that seems to have no heart. There‘s no heaven little dragon cries, hear the end of what was hidden before more innocents die. It looks like a poacher covered with blood - delegated by its leader that seems to be… a leader without a heart, leaders without hearts, leaders… Little dragon now you are free, you will never be forced to do what somebody else needs… little dragon you have to believe that your master is beaten, he‘s defeated and weak. Little dragon! Now you are free! No one‘s no more allowed to say how you have to be! Little dragon, little dragon, little dragon...

A PLACE TO FIGHT We have a place to fight and there we find each other. The same place we might loose ourselves forever… This place is in a cloud, filled with information. There we create a sound, describes our imitation. What’s left in the end when we’ll broke, when there’s nothing than a black hole… What’s left in the end when we’ll broke, when there’s nothing than a black hole… We have a place to sight for choosin’ what feels wrong and feels right, but we don’t recognize two sides never made us wise!

Could we ever see both sides as one again?“ We have a place to fight and there we find each other. The same place we might loose ourselves forever… This place is in a cloud, filled with information.

about

Dear friends, fans and followers,

…there it is finally!! We are very proud to present you our overdue debut album! The following eight tracks on this record are a selection of songs, which are new interpretations of old titles from the last few years, as well as a little new ones. We took a lot of time to make this album and we did almost everything by our own: from the positioning of the microphones, the entire recording process, the editing and the premix. At the beginning of this year, we decided to outsource the preprocessed material for the final mix and masters! We hope you like the result (like us) and you can enjoy the sound of COSMIC RHYTHM!

At this point we would like to take the opportunity to thank all our friends who have believed in us over the past few years and, above all, who have often given us vigorous support. Without you so many achievements would not have been possible!!

Special thanks go to Moritz Gröger from Hertzkammer recording studio, Rainer & Manuela Nuß for extensive support on so many levels and Leon Wilmanns for so many hours of work in the background.

Thank you all and love,

Franzis & Elia (Cologne, July 2021)

Sternenstaub in Formation.
Live vom Planeten Erde,
im auditiven Spektrum zum Bild geworden
schwingt es sich ein im Nadelöhr Mensch.

Geschehenes wird geflochtenes Hologramm,
geformt zu einem Organismus,
bebildert Fahrbahn,
verklingt in Kommunikation.

Zum Aufklang
Ein Abklang

about

the bottomline Köln, Germany

the bottomline is a multi-genre music project from Cologne admired for their captivating “melancholic-sweet-cathartic” sound. Franzis Lating and Johannes Elia Nuß draw on alleged contrary musical traditions and combine them with great keenness to experiment to a “highly individual, novel experience", that morphs somewhere between Jazz, Classical and electronic music. ... more
