The barn-sessions:

These shots were taken in 2008 by Markus Urban in a barn that had been converted into a studio. The Aras enjoyed the atmosphere with its mixture of modern and old; wood and art. Many thanks to Christian Stellmach for use of the location and to Steffi Reinke, the artist of the background paintings.

Aras in the Studio

Shots were taken by Oldrik Scholz and Groucho at Wildwood studios, Düsseldorf.

Wildwood is one of the greatest places to record, hang out, meet people and have the best coffee in Düsseldorf.

Groucho doing his thing – looking like Johnny Cash.
Stefan doing his thing – looking like Tom Liwa.
Accordion was borrowed from Martin Kaufmann. Good box.
This is Oldrik Scholz playing his beautiful double-bass.
Max at Wildwood – Max was having a cold at that time - Groucho fighting it off in the back.

Stefan killed a cow and built a drum for Groucho.
