IN SPRING 2003 STEINBRÜCHEL RECEIVED AN INVITATION FROM THE MUSIC FESTIVAL
"TAKTLOS" IN BERNE, SWITZERLAND, TO CREATE A TRACK FOR THEIR SURROUND
LISTENING ROOM. DURING TWO DAYS IN NOVEMBER 2003 THE TRACK ENTITLED ³OPAQUE"
WAS PLAYED BACK IN CYCLE MODE (AMONG OTHER TRACKS FROM VARIOUS OTHER
ARTISTS).

³OPAQUE² FEATURES AS THE FIRST TRACK ON THIS CD. EACH OF THE FOLLOWING
TRACKS IS BASED ON THE SOUNDFILES USED IN THE ORIGINAL PIECE. TO MAKE THE
REINTERPRETATIONS MORE VARIED AND UNIQUE, EACH CONTRIBUTING ARTIST ONLY
RECEIVED THREE SOUNDFILES FROM THE ORIGINAL PIECE, BUT NONE OF THEM HAVE
HEARD ³OPAQUE² BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF THIS RELEASE. EACH CONTRIBUTING
ARTIST RECEIVED A DIFFERENT SET OF SOUNDFILES AND HAS BEEN ASKED TO CREATE A
TRACK WITH (OR ONLY FROM) THE THREE SOUNDFILES.

IN ADDITION EACH OF THE CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS HAS BEEN ASKED FOR A SPECIFIC
APPROACH WHILE WORKING ON THE REINTERPRETATIONS: CHRIS ABRAHAMS TO COMBINE
THE SOUNDFILES ONLY WITH PIANO, BEN FROST TO ADD AND WORK ONLY WITH
PROCESSED FEEDBACK, TAYLOR DEUPREE  TO CREATE A TRACK BASED ON PROCESSED
MELODY, OREN AMBARCHI TO WORK IN COMBINATION WITH GUITAR AND TOSHIYA TSUNODA
TO ADD AND WORK ONLY WITH FIELDRECORDINGS.
