Projekt Automat to rodzaj supergrupy działającej już od 2011 roku, w skład niej wchodzą:
Jochen Arbeit (Die Haut, Einstürzende Neubauten), Achim Färber (Project Pitchfork, Prag, Phillip Boa) i Zeitblom (Sovetskoe Foto).

Gościnnie usłyszymy Blixę Bargelda, wokalistę Einstürzende Neubauten, Genesisa P.Orridge'a i Lydię Lunch.

Automat, a constant groooove. An album, as you would imagine flying to be if you have never flown: a steady glide from leaving the apartment to reaching the destination. No waiting, no queuing, no turbulence; a smooth check-in, easy border controls, unhindered boarding. Take a seat and take off.
Automat tells of Berlin, once a city with four airports. Tempelhof makes the start: reverberating cowbells, an urgent bass sequence, chopped meanderings, an evil recollection that reminds of THF in its heyday. Schönefeld, where the guitars flange and the delays bounce. Gatow swings to the Ebow. And T.......
