DAAN is „the way“ in Tagalog. Tagalog is one of the main languages spoken in the Philippines and it is the national language of the country.
The composition is based on a a fragment of an Alligator Gozaimasu radio sound session recorded on the 17th of October 2020 in Chemnitz (Germany). The sonic session was hosted by EX:IN, a platform for experimental irritations in sound and music initiated by Chris Münster.
During the sound session the whole room was an instrument on its own (amongst others: shruti box, prepared sewing machine, zither, electronic guitars, bass synthesizer, oud and percussions). oni Lihs, Hannes P. , Jens Ausderwäsche, Mock Universe, Serial Motky and a couple more sound and music lovers joined in.
Back then Iñaki Rocha Echevarría aka Convs also joined the Alligator Gozaimasu sound session with a series of diy instruments (electro acoustic drone string lance with ebow, a spring reverb, mic mask and multi effects processor and pedals). For DAAN he added a guitar with space echo and some audio mastering.
