The album "steps" is composed exclusively from field recordings made at the Dachau Concentration Camp memorial site. It is not possible to represent the horrors of concentration camps in music, and - a lesson learned from the many failures in the history of "industrial music" - the attempt to do so will inevitably result in trivialising, at best. Therefore, this is not about a concentration camp; it is about a memorial site. "Steps" shows to what extent contextual information about the sonic subject matter of a piece influences our listening. Only if we know the history behind these sounds - and the history of the place where they were recorded - are we able to make sense of the present. For part 2, Emerge invited sound artists to give their characteristic processing to the original field recordings. The resulting audio fragments are fed into the performance, symbolising a peaceful, solidary encounter of cultures:

Anja Kreysing, Autonomaton, b°tong, Claus Poulsen, Dabit Vocem Austria, Federico Dal Pozzo, Freiband, Herr Penschuck, Limited Liability Sounds, Satori, Sofia Bertomeu, SRVTR, and Toni Dimitrov.

"There is an eerie atmospheric quality to the music... with noise musicians like Satori this would lead to some massive doubling of noises, you'd be surprised to hear that this is of similar delicate quality as the other two pieces; sounds are fading in and out very gently as in the others.... This is the best Emerge release I heard so far" (Vital Weekly).
