In spring 2003 steinbruechel received an invitation from the Swiss music festival ôTaktlos│ in Berne to
contribute a track for their listening room equipped with a surround 5.1 sound system. During the
two-day festival in November 2003 steinbruechel first track entitled ôopaque▓ was played back in cycle
mode (among tracks from various other artists). The listening room focused on the experience of being
able to listen to music in a very quiet and large environment - unlikely to most home listening situations.
Additionally the possibility of working in surround gave the musicians a chance to create very special
audio sculptures in the space.
The track ôopaque│ by steinbrⁿchel and five remixes is being released by the Australian label room40.
The remixes were created by the internationally well known artists Oren Ambarchi (AUS), Taylor Deupree
(US), Frost (AUS), Toshiya Tsunoda (JP) and Chris Abrahams (NZ). Each of the contributing artists was
chosen for his unique working method (Oren for his work with guitar, Taylor for processed sounds, Frost
guitar feedback, Toshiya for fieldrecordings and Chris for piano). To make the remixes more varied and
special, each artist received only three samples/soundfiles from the original track, but none of the artists
have received the same samples or even have heard the original ôopaque│ track by steinbruechel before
the release of the CD.
