Biography

Composer, musician and producer Klaus Schulze was known all over the world as THE pioneer of Electronic Music and master of the Moog synthesizer. He shaped the ‘Berlin School‘ and was most influencial for various music styles that came of Electronic Music. The ‘godfather of Techno Music' – as he is fondly called by some of the internationally known DJ‘s and Remixers – rolled out his extensive sounds, played his legendary sequences and created this unique ‘Schulze atmosphere‘ for more than 50 years now. ‘Musique Planante‘ is the french term to describe his unique works. His beginnings took off in bands like ‘Tangerine Dream‘ and ‘Ash Ra Tempel‘, continued with over 50 solo albums from ‘Irrlicht‘, ‘Mirage‘, ‘X‘ and ‘Dune‘ to ‘Farscape‘, ‘Kontinuum‘, ‘Silhouettes‘ and recently ‘Deus Arrakis‘, in his productions under the moniker of ‘Richard Wahnfried' or in his various collaborations with great artists like Arthur Brown, Michael Shrieve, Rainer Bloss, Lisa Gerrard or lately Hans Zimmer: Klaus Schulze always remained faithful to his unmistakable style of making music while keeping an open mind for innovations and experiments. Klaus Schulze passed away on April 26, 2022 at the age of 74 after a long disease but all of a sudden. We lose and will miss one of the most influential composers of electronic music - a man of conviction and an exceptional artist. His always cheerful nature, his innovative spirit and his impressive body of work remain indelibly rooted in our memories.
