Det instrumentala albumet Sub City 2064 spelades in som ett långdistansprojekt alternerandes mellan Istanbul och Stockholm. Målet var att skapa en filmisk atmosfär som blandar chill, sci-fi och skräck.

Jag träffade Erdem första gången 2007 i Santa Cruz California där vi båda spelade solokonserter på International Live Looping Festival och några andra mindre spelställen i San Francisco, Oakland och San Jose. Vi bestämde oss då för att skapa inspelad musik tillsammans. Detta har nu till sist blivit av.

Erdem Helvacioğlu plays TogaMan GuitarViol, electric guitar and electronics. Per Boysen plays alto flute, tenor saxophone, EWI, electronics, drop-B electric guitar, Stratocaster and fretless electric guitar.
