Londoner Janek Schaefer began deconstructing music at the tender
age of six, when he assembled a sound collage called "Journey."
After studying architecture at Manchester Metropolitan University,
he continued his sound art experiments with a piece called
"Recorded Delivery," which premiered at a London exhibition
organized by Brian Eno and Laurie Anderson. The piece consisted of
edited sounds culled from a tape recording made by a
voice-activated device that traveled in a box through the British
postal system. Eventually, a 7" single of "Recorded Delivery" was
released. A spate of live gigs and installation pieces followed in
the late '90s, concurrent with several cassette releases.
During this period, Schafer continued to design and build his own
unique tools for music making, including a three-armed
"tri-phonic" turntable and several highly specialized vinyl
mastering techniques. Schafer also has a strong interest in field
recordings as a compositional tool. His interests converged on his
fantastic album debut Above Buildings, which was released on Fat
Cat in 2000. With its harsh and beautiful sonics, the record put
Schafer on the level of abstract music makers like Fennesz and
Oval
