Managing two record labels and the most successful electronic music school in the country has left Natia Sartania aka sTia with little time for her own music for the past 13 years. However, her musical journeys and transitions brought her back to "home". This 7-track album has been created by Natia since the full-scale invasion in Ukraine. She dedicates this album to all people who had to leave their homes behind. It's not easy to define the musical genre of this EP. Mostly acoustic piano with some electronic ambience and squeaky pedal that gets in the way. Some melancholic recitative and hypnotic hip-hop instrumental in the end. In A4 Natia collaborates with Luna Flowers and Sabana, the founding members of the most influential hip-hop collectives in Georgia such as "KayaKata", LTFR and Temple Pharmacy. In B3 sTia's home is covered by one of the most promising young Georgian hip-hop instrumentalist Nikala

In the process of creating this album, Irakli made audio documentations and photographs of different spaces, to be precise, he documented the reverberation of those spaces. Parallel to that Esi started to use collected convolution algorithms for his audio tracks. The content of the accumulated work inspired him to put it in a certain structure and make a compilation, which would have a clear concept and could be identified as a completed audio work and would be represented on a certain platform. He decided to name it 41° 43' 0.001'' N / 44° 46' 59.999'' (Forty One Forty Four). These are the geographical coordinates of Tbilisi, since the entire audio material was produced in Tbilisi. The text in the first audio track is taken from a series of lectures given by John Cage titled ''Silence'' and was transformed into a poetry-spoken word by Georgian composer and artist Natalie Beridze. This audio recording is a documentation of a limit, which any hardware can have. The recording was made on a tape. Only following devices were used: Dave Smith Evolver Desktop, Korg MS20, Eventide Timefactor, Marantz PMD 201 , Moog drive, Moog phaser, Zoom H4N, Neumann KMR 81 i, various Eurorack systems.
