Thomas Lehn and Marcus Schmickler are both well-known electroacoustic musicians from Cologne, but they come from very different backgrounds. Lehn is from the world of improvisation, while Schmickler's previous work lies predominantly in the world of studio production.

In December of 1998, Schmickler joined the MIMEO, of which Lehn was already a member, and the two began to collaborate occasionally within the band.  In the summer of 2000, the duo recorded Bart over the course of two long studio sessions. A brilliant amalgam of the two musicians' strengths, Bart utilizes both improvisation and studio postproduction techniques to create a lasting work, combining the feel of a classic INA-GRM record with the raw, crackling energy of a free improv session.

"very cool cd!!! the real sound of cologne! cd of the year potential and all that."-Pita
