Creation and artwork

The songs were composed by the two Glasperlenspiel members Daniel Grunenberg and Carolin Niemczyk , in cooperation with changing composers. The composers David Jürgens and Katharina Löwel participated most frequently . Most of the tracks were mixed and produced by Benjamin Bistram, Daniel Grunenberg and the British record producer Yoad Nevo; Nick Coler co-produced some of the titles. The album was mastered at Nevo Sound Studios in London under the direction of Yoad Nevo. The album was released under the Polydor music label . On the cover of the album - next to the inscription of the artist and the song title - you can see Glasperlenspiel. Grunenberg looks to the left in the picture and Niemczyk to the right while she blows a bubble of chewing gum. The cover picture was shot by the German photographer Ben Wolf and designed by Matthias Bäuerle . On the cover of Grenzenlos at this moment you can see glass bead games standing in pink fog.
