He initially gained notoriety in the experimental electronic music and
Techno community for his full-length ‘variations’ (his description) of
material by Mike Ink and Richie Hawtin. The variations were made by
playback of the original artist records on a turntable of Brinkmann's
design, which has two tone arms with separate outputs for left and right
channels. The turntables were then pitched down from 33rpm to 27rpm and the
results recorded and mixed. Both Ink and Hawtin were sufficiently impressed
they released the results on their own labels in 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
