The former ballet dancer Danyx met Dirk at a concert of his former band
that was signed to BMG in Berlin that time.
After this band broke up (Spinal Tap is true) Dirk and Danyx started to
make music together, first as studio-duo, but very soon also live on
stage with various musicians.
After playing in 2000-2001 they started to work on this CD in the end
of 2001.
In the end of 2003 they decided to move to London due to Dirk's
soundengineering work as well as to the idea having a change for
something new.
At the moment they are about to get a band together to go back on stage.
Danyx: Well I think the way we work is influenced by all the
impressions we get from art, people, movies, politics, social
structures etc.
We are surrounded by.
We feel a bit like visitors and observers thrown into this world who
sum up what they see and feel by the music.
Dirk: I also think there are many influences but it's not like:
I want to make music like band x-y but it's more like: I want to be
like the music of x-y,like it feels, what it suggests etc..
In this case you can definitely name some work of artists like Roxy
Music, Talking Heads or David Bowie and others that kind.
At least I would say that we try to make music we'd also like to
listen to even if it weren't ours.
I think that's for every musician and writer a good point to start from.

The music was written and performed by The Kokoon and recorded, mixed
and produced by Dirk.
Is it artpop or softpunk? You decide.
The Kokoon was formed by Danyx (voc,bass,keys) and Dirk (git,drums,bass,keys)
in Berlin.
