[1] Brinkmann began experimenting with records in the early eighties and released re-workings of material by fellow artists Mike Ink and Richie Hawtin in the second half of the 1990s.
These productions were made by playing physically modified vinyl records on highly customized turntables with an additional tone arm.
He has also produced for labels such as Traum Schallplatten, Raster-Noton and Mute Records (under the Soul Center alias).
In 2010, he contributed a cover of Suicide's song "Diamonds, Furcoats, Champagne" for the Alan Vega 70th Birthday Limited Edition EP Series.
