So water is Turkey's oil

about

So water is Turkey's oil are two sometimes three overdubbed prologue improvisations, voices, violin and trumpet.
Besides that you can hear an audio from a busy market with people and traffic (public domain material) and recordings from our balcony.

Here a dialogue of the documentary "Erdogan builds thousands of dams, why?" translated to English:
"This canal runs to the Syrian border. We're working on a project there. The excess water is pumped to another area so the farmers in dry parts of the province get water as well. But hopefully they will have their own water soon." "The water stays in Turkey?" "Yes.""But doesn't the Euphrates belong to Syria as well?" "The Arab countries have a lot of oil and we have to pay them for it. So we won't give away our water either. If the Arab countries make us pay a lot for their oil then we'll also make them pay for our water. It helps our economy."
"So water is Turkey's oil." "Exactly. In the Arab countries, water is very precious, since they don't have it. Countries like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Kuwait hardly have any water. A bottle of drinking water costs around the same as petrol or diesel. They have a lot of oil, we have a lot of water. So why don't we make a deal with each other? We could trade our water for their oil. Then we don't need any money. That would be great, don't you think?"

Fließgewässer Barcelona, Spain

"Fließgewässer" is intentionally mysterious, playful ambient/noise, now rather electroacoustic music originated from random conversations on a generally uncertain future that obliges to improvise always.

Usually playing live or at least motivated to do so. Info: krimskramz.com/fliessgewaesser/
