No, it isn't, I just chose it due to the thematic closeness to women's shelters and also, because it can be interpreted in different ways.

I don't actually profit from it. The income exceeding the expenses I had will be donated to women's shelters, since politicians decided to drastically cut fundings for these in Austria since Kurz and Strache were elected.

Thanks, AV1! The name doesn't have an actual meaning, it's just inspired by androids in old science fiction movies and books, symbolizing otherness and the alienation or isolation that comes with it. I thought it to be a good representation of the desperation and melancholy a lot of my music transports.

Today, I finally released my first album. It's a conceptual work on domestic violence, with all the sounds used being Found Sounds recorded in different homes. Every track represents a certain room and only features sounds coming from a room of that type.
The alienation of these sounds symbolizes the transformation of the psyche as well as the perception of personal safety and the term 'home' survivors go through.
Therefore, the album has no pretence of beauty, it rather moves between monotony and chaos, sounding broken, dissonant and harsh at times.
It's an attempt at raising awareness for an issue that's otherwise mostly tabooed or belittled, with politicians and media referring to women's shelters as 'destroyers of marriages' and gender-based violence as a 'necessary means of regulation'.
In case you're interested, you can have a listen at Labor L'Art. The album will also be made available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon and a couple of others.
The very talented viennese video artist Carina Plachy also created a video to the opening track Anteroom.
Feel free to leave your comments and criticism here, I'd love to know what you think about this little project.
For your troubles, here's a (unfortunately very short, because I'm a poor artist) train.
Have a lovely day, and take good care of each other!
