  • Den (room)

    A den is a small room in a house where people can pursue activities in private.

    In the United States, the type of rooms described by the term den varies considerably by region. It is used to describe many different kinds of bonus rooms, including studies, family rooms, home offices, libraries, home cinemas, or even spare bedrooms. In some places, particularly in parts of the British Isles, a small den may be known as a snug.

    While living rooms tend to be used for entertaining company on formal occasions, dens, like other family rooms, tend toward the more informal. In houses that do not have dedicated family rooms or recreation rooms, a den may fill that niche. Dens can also be private areas primarily used by adult members of the household, possibly restricting access to the room by their children. Dens with home theater systems and large screen televisions may be referred to as media rooms instead. Most den floors are made out of wood, carpet, or floor tiling.

    Dens can serve the same purpose as cabinets in the past, becoming a modern man cave—a place for men to gather and entertain. In such cases, the design and decor may be distinctively masculine.

    Den (album)

    Den is an album by electronica group Kreidler, released in 2012.

    Cover artwork

    The cover artwork is by Italian artist Enrico David. Analogously to the preceding Kreidler album Tank, there is an art piece on the front cover, and another one on the inner sleeve (vinyl version); the CD is packed in a jewel case with the artwork on two changeable cardboards.

    Music videos

    The album is accompanied by a collaboration between film director Heinz Emigholz and Kreidler, with Emigholz contributing clips to all the songs on Den. The videos contain alternate song versions, most remarkable "Rote Wüste", where the video, at 21:12, runs nearly three times longer than the album version.

    The readers of German magazine Spex voted "Rote Wüste" as favorite video No. 7 in the top ten for 2012. "Moth Race" won the 15th MuVi Award for "Best German Music Video" at the 59th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in May 2013. The production company Filmgalerie 451 lists "Sun", "Rote Wüste" and "Moth Race" as trailers for Heinz Emigholz' film The Airstrip - Decampment of Modernism.
