Member of the Cologne experimental music scene Marcus Schmickler (piethopraxis) has released a growing number of critically acclaimed electroacoustic recordings of various levels of abstractness through Mille Plateaux (as Pluramon) and A-Musik label (as Wabi Sabi). Formally educated in composition he works in the electronic, instrumental, improvised fields of music as composer and producer. Marc Comes did his first and often released portrait of Schmickler in 2001. The shown selection starts with the portrait of  2001 (with glycerol) and defines the new images in Schmickler's studio as variations (with glitter) of the first one.
