Canada’s Richie Hawtin creates music for the XXth Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremonies
in Torino, Italy
Olympic ceremony producers K2006 invited Richie Hawtin to collaborate with renowned Italian
choreographer, Enzo Cosimi, on a key section of the XXth Olympics Winter Games Opening Ceremony
taking place in Torino on February 10th. The new composition titled 9:20 was written & produced by
Hawtin and will accompany Cosimi’s provocative choreography featuring famous Italian dancer Robert
Bolle along with dozens of other dancers, performers and acrobats. Hawtin & Cosimi worked together in
Hawtin’s Berlin studio to fully realize the drama and emotions of Cosimi's performers, building an evolving
soundscape of sounds and effects to accompany the different movements of Cosimi’s piece.
Ceremony producers have assembled an energetic program planned for the Opening Ceremonies with a
theme originating around the foundation elements of Rhythm, Passion and Speed. Internationally renown
not only for his music and global DJ performances, but also for his interest in new creative technologies,
Hawtin is in perfect harmony with both the concept and its global audience.
“Enzo and I are very much interested in pushing boundaries, both as artists and for our audiences.
Working together for the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Games delivers the creative endeavor to not
only entertain a huge audience, but to also introduce them to sights and sounds that they may have never
experienced before," says Hawtin from his studio in Berlin.
Born in England and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Richie Hawtin is highly regarded internationally
for his recordings both as Richie Hawtin and his pseudonym as Plastikman while on the world stage as
one of electronic music’s most innovative and in demand performers. His recent album, DE9 | Transitions
boasts a CD mix plus DVD featuring a 5.1 surround mix produced by Hawtin. Today, in between touring
the globe, the Canadian producer spends time between his studios in Windsor, Canada and Berlin,
Germany.
