Nice! Very nice! Just the sort of music I like. I could listen to this type of stuff for hours and not get bored with it, 5 stars! Do you ever have a problem with your soundtracks getting blocked by YouTube when you upload them?

Only with some very old uploads from 2006. But I am assuming youtube must have obtained licenses since then. Because I noticed the other day the original soundtracks for both videos have been restored and there now ads being displayed - as compensation, I guessing.

@ninamoonlight this glimps into the past is not so tranquil as it seems, ...it´s of Market St. San Francisco in 1906, recently identified as being four days before the earthquake.

the clip also appears in a vid. with a track by Air and as a silent movie about the quake

Excellent work in all 3 videos of Schallbau. Very inspired and original approach.

this was entrancing - especially combined with this footage.

would you happen to know in which city and when this was filmed?

such a treat - the glimpse into the slowness of the past paired with the smooth and driving sound of the future.

thank you!
