Schmickler has since released a growing number of critically acclaimed electro-acoustic recordings of various levels of abstractness through Mille Plateaux (as Pluramon) and former bandmate Odijk's A-Musik label (as Wabi Sabi). Schmickler's Kaspar-Hauser studios (named in reference to the early 19th century tabula rasa child, memorialized by Werner Herzog in his 1974 film, The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser) are located in a disused warehouse space at the outskirts of the city, and provide something of a window on Schmickler's musical conception: vague constructions of random and apparently inert sonic matter re-formed into fascinating environments of ambient and electro-acoustic, occasionally beat-oriented electronica.
