Atom™ & Marc Behrens: Bauteile
digital
AtomTM Audio Archive


Remastered 2025.

In 2012, our favourite power duo, AtomTM and Marc Behrens, were invited to create a 50-minute audio piece for Deutschlandradio Kultur. The collaboration took shape at AtomTM’s studio in Santiago de Chile, resulting in a piece titled “Bauteile 1”—German for “building blocks.” Soon after, a second version (“Bauteile 2”) followed and was broadcast in 2013. The definitive 70-minute version, presented here simply as “Bauteile”, was released on CD by the Austrian label Editions Mego in 2014. Now, more than a decade later, all three versions have been carefully remastered and re-released digitally: “Bauteile 1 & 2” via Marc Behrens’ Availabel imprint, and “Bauteile” through the AtomTM Audio Archive. Musically, “Bauteile” is a hyper-eclectic rollercoaster—a dense and intricate journey through sonic scenes, auditory imagery, genres and their simulations.

Atom™ and Marc Behrens met during the heyday of the German Techno movement and have since ever pursued extensive research in all areas of contemporary music. Their findings, a sonification of their investigations, which span effectively two centuries of musical development, are now released as an album for the first time by Editions Mego.
