The mysterious dials, knobs and antennae on the electrically-charged inventions of Robert Moog, Theremin, and others, enticed musicians to explore a universe of sounds radically different from those produced by traditional instruments. American musicians like Terry Riley, Walter Carlos and Mother Mallard’s Portable Masterpiece Co. began writing a new, avant- classical music to exploit synthesized sonics. Overseas, such artists as Tangerine Dream, Cluster and Klaus Schulze in Germany, Heldon in France, and Fripp & Eno in England, created new rock-based electronic musics. The explorations of these electronic pioneers spawned numerous sub-genres of electronic music, with names such as space music, electronic soundscapes, ambient music, new age, space rock, techno, and industrial music. Today, a new generation of visionary musicians continues to explore the frontiers of electronic sound through composition, improvisation, and mixtures thereof. They are expanding the boundaries of electronic music’s interrelated and often overlapping sub-genres, refining and redefining their sound, and creating some of the best instrumental music of the present day. Radio Massacre International (RMI) is a British electronic music trio who is carving out new ground in the genre of space music.

  • BB308 Qluster
    QLUSTER ELEMENTE CD / LP (+CD) / Digital / November 2nd, 2018 “Elemente” - album number seven from the third incarnation of the legendary krautronic project Kluster/Cluster springs a surprise with a minor sensation: sequencer lines! Using an array of exclusively analogue instruments, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Onnen Bock and Armin Metz have recorded eight tracks which, at one and the same time, are intrinsically hypnotic and sublimely beautiful. In principle, “Elemente” was created in much the same fashion as earlier Qluster albums: the three musicians met up in Schönberg, a remote hamlet in northern Mecklenburg. The eight pieces were distilled from the original recordings of their lengthy improvised sessions, with additional elements added to only three of the tracks in the production process: a synthesizer melody for “Zeno”, a prepared piano for “Xymelan” and a beat for “Tatum”. First special feature on the new album: the “tools of the trade”. In their choice of equipment, Qluster reach back to their own history as Cluster, more than forty years ago, when legendary albums like “Zuckerzeit”, “Sowiesoso” and “Curiosum” were made. “Elemente” has been crafted exclusively with analogue instruments: a range of analogue synthesizers, rhythm machines, a Farfisa organ, a Fender Rhodes piano and various effects devices plus – second special feature and making its debut in the band’s narrative! – a 1970s sequencer playing an endless loop of manually recorded melodies, fed through effects and equalizers to achieve that typically hypnotic sequencer character. Listen out for them on “Perpetuum”, “Xymelan”, “Tatum” and “Lindow”. By way of contrast, “Weite” and “Infinitum” unfold in vast echo chambers, free of metrics.

  • KLUSTER Schwarz (Eruption)
    KLUSTER Schwarz (Eruption) Reissue (originally released in 1971) CD / LP (180g vinyl) / download Release date: November 16, 2012 Label: Bureau B In a few words: Cat no.: BB 112 - Kluster was a short-lived project of three musicians/artists/performers: Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Konrad Schnitzler. Barcode (EAN): Kluster disbanded as Moebius and Roedelius found the financial risk CD 4047179659925 of bringing out a third album too daunting. Schnitzler decided to go LP 4047179659918 ahead on his own, releasing the material they had recorded together, without any information or credits on the LP sleeve. Moebius and Distributor: Indigo Roedelius continued as a duo under the name of Cluster . Indigo order no.: - Originally released 1971 on KS 1001 965992 (CD) - Liner notes by Asmus Tietchens 965991 (LP) - Available as CD, download and 180g vinyl The official Konrad Schnitzler discography lists “Eruption”, released in 1971 under the title “Schwarz” (catalogue number KS 1001), as the first Tracklisting: Schnitzler album. In actual fact, “Eruption” is the third and final LP by the group Kluster, following “Klopfzeichen” and “Zwei Osterei”. The line- 1. Eruption 1 up printed on the labels leaves no room for doubt. Unlike the two (31:04) previous albums, “Eruption” was not issued by the Schwann Verlag, but 2. Eruption 2 by the band on its own, hence the task of financing the record fell to the (25:30) participants. Roedelius and Moebius, however, were either unable or unwilling to get involved in this risky business. Without further ado, Schnitzler decided to cover the cost of pressing up 200 LPs which he would bring out under his own name.

    BILDET NISCHEN! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab HAU 21.–26.9.2021 Bildet Nischen! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab 21.–26.9.2021 / HAU1 Im Winter des Jahres 1967 begann der Musiker und Künstler Conrad Schnitzler, auf Einladung des Wirtes Paul Glaser in zwei Räumen unter der damaligen Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer, dem heutigen HAU2, das Programm zu gestalten. Mit Mit strei - ter:innen betrieb er das Zodiak Free Arts Lab über ein Jahr lang als hierarchiefreien Raum für musikalische Experimente und interdisziplinären Austausch. Bis 1969 diente das Zodiak als künstlerischer wie sozialer Treffpunkt. Trotz des kurzen Be- stehens kann es als initiierender Ort für zahlreiche musikalische Entwicklungen ver- standen werden – vor allem für die kurze Zeit später entstehende “Berliner Schule”, deren Sound oft unter dem Begriff “Krautrock” zusammengefasst wird und der bis heute in diversen musikalischen Strömungen nachhallt. “Bildet Nischen! Rückkopplungen aus dem Zodiak Free Arts Lab” begibt sich auf Spurensuche und beleuchtet die Verbindungen aus politischen, sozialen und kultu- rellen Verhältnissen, die auf die Szene um das Zodiak einwirkten. Welche Gemenge - lagen setzen auch heute noch Energien frei, die sich in (pop-)kulturellen Entwick- lungen manifestieren? Wie findet sich Gegenkultur und welcher Räume bedarf es dafür? Lassen sich Spuren und Bezüge des Zodiak in der kulturellen Praxis späterer subkultureller Entwicklungen im Berliner Underground aufzeigen? Fragestellungen wie diese bleiben bis in die aktuelle Gegenwart für die Entwicklung künstlerischer Positionen relevant. In einem Programm aus Konzerten, Kollaborationen, Installa- tionen, Gesprächen und einer Lecture Performance geht das HAU ihnen nach. Ein Festival des HAU Hebbel am Ufer.

  • CONRAD SCHNITZLER Compiled and Assembled by THOMAS FEHLMANN
    K O L L E K T I O N 5 CONRAD SCHNITZLER compiled and assembled by THOMAS FEHLMANN CD / vinyl / download Out: July 31st, 2015 Things come full circle. In 1976 Thomas Fehlmann arrives in Hamburg to study art at the HfBK. In 1979 he attends a guest lecture by Conrad Schnitzler, who demonstrates to students how the “extended definition of art” established by Joseph Beuys can be applied to music. This proves to be a crucial element in Fehlmann's decision to become a musician. And now, over 35 years later, he has compiled our fifth collection, arranging, in uniquely harmonious fashion, sixteen pieces from the early 1980s by the man who broadened his horizons, Conrad Schnitzler. The gateway to Schnitzler's sonic cosmos has been flung wide open. About Conrad Schnitzler: Conrad Schnitzler (1937–2011), composer and concept artist, is one of the most important representatives of Germany’s electronic music avant-garde. A student of Joseph Beuys, he founded Berlin’s legendary Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a subculture club, in 1967/68, was a member of Tangerine Dream (together with Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese) and Kluster (with Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and also released countless solo albums. About Thomas Fehlmann: Thomas Fehlmann rose to prominence in the seminal band Palais Schaumburg with Holger Hiller. Their debut album in 1981 was a milestone in German post-punk music. In 1988 Fehlmann founded the Teutonic Beats label and in 1990 he became a member of The Orb. He has played an important role in Berlin's electronic and club scenes ever since, as a musician, producer, remixer and DJ.

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.
