Ralph Steinbrüchel studied Communication Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, where he graduated with a Masters of Arts and Design with distinction. He now lives and works as a musician and graphic designer in Zürich, Switzerland.
Steinbrüchel's musical work deals mainly with the texture and atmosphere of sound, creating works that deal with both intricate patterns and spacious landscapes.
In 2002 his composition 'zwischen raum', released on Swiss independent record label Domizil, was distinguished with the Max Brand Award for Electronic Music at phonoTAKTIK 02 Festival, New York. In the same year he received a compositional scholarship from Pro Helvetia, Arts Council of Switzerland, to work on his release 'circa', published by noted minimalist record label LINE.
