‚Ramak‘ began taking shape during one uninterrupted recording session, where sanr made the most of a borrowed contrabass with only one string. They had only six hours with the embattled instrument and worked to make the most of it. As this session was the first and last time they ever saw the contrabass. This would become the only instrument used in the production of ‚Ramak.‘

Knowing little to nothing of how to properly play the instrument became a strength for the group revealing unconventional roads for the sound to travel. After the session ended the collaging began in DAW. Layering blocks of unruly sound, sanr exposed a rudimentary puzzle of hollowed wood and tense steel.
