In February 2015, experimental musicians from Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Germany responded to an invitation from Andi & Hannes Teichmann, Can “Khan” Oral, and the Goethe-Institut to gather in the magical village of Malinalco, Mexico. There, they came together to form the band Mondmaschine.
In collaboration with the Mexican video art duo Viral Inc., they created a Jodorowsky-inspired music film exploring the cycle of life. It was shot in the local surroundings and premiered with a live soundtrack by Mondmaschine at the Nrmal Festival 2015 in Mexico City and Wassermusik Festival Berlin 2016
