  'Quality Hotel' CD out now on Oral/Mutek, Canada.
  
  Recorded at Mutek 2002 Stephan Mathieu, Radboud Mens, Janek Schaefer, Timeblind
  
  This recording is the second in a series produced during the MUTEK festivals. It symbolizes our (mutek's) desire to foster meetings and collaborations amongst artists during their stay in Montreal for the festival. During the 2002 edition of MUTEK, four artists invited by the festival decided to explore the experience of turning a hotel room into a sound lab. The compositions on this record were created on a sunny june morning, and they exhibit an acute sense of improvisation and a fine degree of complicity amongst the participants. The resulting CD contains seven piece of dense, sometimes harsh, sometime relaxing, electronic experiments. An intriguing journey into the mind of their authors. Never disappointing. Thanks to the musicians, Stephan Mathieu (GER), Radboud Mens (NL), Janek Schaefer (UK) and Timeblind (USA), who, gathered at the Quality Hotel, were able to transpose this intimate moment and fertile exchange into a unique and stimulating CD.
