Fenn O'Berg was an improvisational computer music trio made up of members Christian Fennesz, Peter Rehberg and Jim O'Rourke.[1] Their existence began with a surprise appearance at the Nickelsdorf Festival in 1997. This was followed by extensive international touring in 1998–99, bringing a live stage setup consisting solely of portable computing devices to venues which would not usually have booked such shows at that time.[2]
The cover art for their first two albums is provided by Chicks on Speed.[3]
The song "Floating My Boat" features a sample from Neil Young's "Expecting to Fly," which was orchestrated by famed producer Jack Nitzsche. Band member Jim O'Rourke has stated in interviews that he greatly enjoys Nitzsche's production work.
