Esta semana, en la última sesión de Rebelión Sónica de la temporada 2024, los invitamos a escuchar música del box set recopilatorio “Roedelius 90”, que celebra las nueve décadas del legendario músico alemán y figura esencial de la electrónica contemporánea, Hans-Joachim Roedelius. Lanzado por el sello Groenland Records el 25 de octubre, la caja incluye música previamente desconocida del fundador de bandas de la trascendencia de Cluster y Harmonia. La disquera explica que la mayor parte de la música incluida en “90”, que suma tres horas de música en 50 tracks, proviene de grabaciones de dos pistas de Revox realizadas entre 1968 y 1980. Agrega que las cintas de Revox, fueron creadas con su delay Echolette y su órgano Farfisa, el mismo equipo utilizado por Roedelius para grabar sus queridos discos “Selbstportrait” -serie de álbumes del músico- y gran parte de sus seminales trabajos con Dieter Moebius y Michael Rother en Harmonia. De este modo, el box “documenta los procesos y sonidos que continúan inspirando a generaciones de amantes de la música y aventureros sonoros”. “90” no pretende ser una retrospectiva completa de la obra de un artista notable. Se desconoce la cronología exacta de estas piezas, así como quién pudo haber cooperado con Roedelius en ellas. Pero el trasfondo histórico de esta música es ciertamente convincente: no parece una hipérbole afirmar que estos ciclos hipnóticos en cascada rivalizan con los mejores contemporáneos como Terry Riley, que trabajó a medio mundo de distancia en sus propias y sencillas obras maestras. “Por el momento, una celebración será suficiente: un retrato de una vida extraordinaria a los 90 años, contada a través de una música hermosa, personal y original”, remata Gröenland. Al final del programa, destacamos a la banda de Roedelius con Dieter Moebius, Cluster, con música de su influyente álbum de 1976, “Sowiesoso”. Rebelión Sónica sale al aire por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

No figure loomed larger over Krautrock, as a genre, than legendary producer/ sound engineer Konrad "Conny" Plank ... and we've been looking for an opportunity to talk about him. Then we discovered the Rastakraut Pasta LP that he and Dieter Moebius recorded and released in 1980. Problem solved!From behind the board in Cologne's Rhenus Studio and then his own converted farmhouse in Wolperath, Plank put on tape some (most?) of the best German kosmische and electronic music of the '70s. From there he went on to develop the sound signatures of post-punk acts like Devo, Eurythmics, and Ultravox.Gone too soon at age 47, Plank is (and damn well should be) remembered as Krautrock's Midwife. Join us as we explore his life and career and then go track by track through Rastakraut Pasta on Episode 16 of CBK!
We interrupt this podcast's regularly scheduled programming for a SPECIAL REPORT:We've made a Krautrock Playlist.The original idea was to have a "song draft": having dug deep enough into Krautrock, we would take turns claiming songs for ourselves. We figured this way we'd learn what each of us likes in particular, and what we like best.What happened is we came up with a list of 44 songs -- FORTY-FOUR -- that generally holds together not just as a cohesive cross-section of the genre (with apologies to Popol Vuh), but also as one hell of a mix to queue up on Spotify.Did we hit all the good stuff? Hell, no, and we know we have much more to learn and explore. But we made a good start. Some stats, for those who are interested:Song counts by artist: Can (7!), Kraftwerk (5), Neu! (5), Faust (4), Harmonia (4), La Düsseldorf (4), Amon Düül II (2), Cluster (2), Guru Guru (2), Moebius + Plank (2), Agitation Free (1), Amon Düül (1), Ash Ra Tempel (1), Brainticket (1), Holger Czukay (1), Tangerine Dream (1), Xhol Caravan (1).Song counts by credited musicians: Klaus Dinger (11), Holger Czukay (10), Michael Rother (10), Dieter Moebius (8), Hans-Joachim Roedelius (6).
In the spring of 1973, guitarist Michael Rother looks on in two old acquaintances at their ramshackle farmhouse/ recording studio in Forst. Rother hopes to tour the UK with his current band, Neu!, and he *thinks* Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster might provide just the juice he needs for his live act ...Now what was it John Lennon said about life and making other plans? The Neu! tour never materialized, and Rother's trip to the country yielded only Krautrock's preeminent supergroup, in the form of HARMONIA. Harmonia introduced Rother's discipline, structure, and guitar to the Cluster duo's improvisational synth subversion, and boy, oh boy were the results terrific. The clash of work styles meant it couldn't last, but for three years at least, Harmonia were arguably "the world's most important rock band" (h/t B. Eno).Join us as we tell the Harmonia story, giving specific attention to the band's sparkling 1975 release, Deluxe!
Conrad Schnitzler, Brian Eno, Michael Rother, Conny Plank. All the cool kids wanted to hang with Moebius and Roedelius — so naturally we do, too. What time is it, listeners? Is it time for the CBK bus to take a turn "im Suden?" Is it time to tap into Roe's pastoral Romanticism and Moe's sparky bleeps and blips? Time to put Eric Clapton into "the Krautock meat grinder?" Is it, indeed, time to check in on CLUSTER? Damn straight, Brüder und Schwestern: it's SUGARTIME.
For this weeks show I spoke to legendary German musician and composer, Hans-Joachim Roedelius. Roedelius has had a long and varied music career. In 1971 he co-founded Cluster with Dieter Moebius, and in 1973 Roedelius and Moebius formed Harmonia with Michael Rother, a previous guest on the Synthetic Dreams Podcast. His music has influenced countless musicians, including David Bowie and Brian Eno, who worked with Cluster in 1977 for the album, Cluster and Eno. It was a real honour to speak to such an icon of electronic music.

Stockhausen, “Side IV, Groups II and III” from Sternklang (Park-Music For Five Groups). For vocalists, instruments and electronics. From the notes: “The composition is written for groups of singers and instrumentalists, which are widely separated from each other spatially. The groups should be able to hear each other, above all, when a group has a pause. The musicians must also be able to regulate the overtones of the played and sung sounds, as these are described exactly. We therefore ask the listening participants to keep the silence that is necessary for the musicians.” Kraftwerk “Tongebirge” from Ralf & Florian (1973 Philips). Vocals, keyboards, strings, wind instruments, drums, electronics, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter. Peter Baumann, “Meadow Of Infinity (Part 2)” from Romance 76 (1976 Virgin). Composed, produced, and played by Peter Baumann. Used a custom-built synthesizer provided by Projekt Electronic Berlin. Cluster, “Seltsame Gegend” from Curiosum (1981 Sky).

Composed, produced, and played by Peter Baumann. Used a custom-built synthesizer provided by Projekt Electronic Berlin. “Meadow Of Infinity Part 1” included members of the Philharmonic Orchestra Munich, conducted by H. Baumann.
This episode is an ode to collaborations and their importance in the everyday creative practice. The first and most significant treated in this episode is the life-long partnership between Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, the two prolific pioneers of teutonic electronic music and fathers of Krautrock. They’ve been working together, since the early 70’s, making music as a duo as well as teaming up with Conrad Schnitzler (under the name Kluster), Michael Rother (forming Harmonia), Conny Plank, Brian Eno (in Harmonia 76), Gerd Beerbohm, Karl Renziehausen and many more. The sonic heritage that they created influenced the subsequent generations of german artists, including some who are featured in this episode. Last but not least, this tracklist is a brief extract from the rich catalogue of the defunct Hamburg based label Sky Records, born from the experience of Brain that today evolved into Bureau B. The episode features: Dennis Young, Eno Moebius Roedelius, Hearts No Static, Roedelius & Schneider, Asmus Tietchens, Conrad Schnitzler, Cluster, Moebius & Beerbohm, Harald Grosskopf, Vono, Faust and Qluster.

Shock World Service 048 Zero Hour by Neil Higgins 02/12/2012 London, United Kingdom 1. Claude Larson & his Computer Controlled Oscillators - Mountains & Meadows Like a lot of the early synthesizer artists this German producer veers between moments of lush magic & terrible cheesy nonsense, but this is a lovely warm wave of analog atmosphere to kick things off. 2. Tonto's Expanding Head Band - Cybernaut When these synth pioneers started making this music around 1969 there were virtually no reference points for what they were doing. This was just the music that the machines seemed to want to make/ 3. Mike Vickers - Surf Rider This slightly re-edited piece of proto-techno was recorded by a former member of Manfred Mann, and featured on a library music LP on the British KPM label. 4. Sid Bass - Moog Espana The first commercially successful synthesizer record was ‘Switched-On Bach' by Walter (later to become Wendy) Carlos in 1968. It was an attempt to show that the Moog synthesizer could replicate the full palette of sounds of an orchestra. Although it now feels like a full-on novelty record, it pretty much kick started the popularity of the Moog and launched the idea of using synthesizers in popular music. 5. Adrian Wagner - Where Are We Going A hypnotic but slightly bonkers epic from the UK Charisma label – home of Genesis and the Monty Python albums. 6. Cabaret Voltaire - Seconds Too Late Punk might have shattered much of the cosmic pretensions of 70s synthesizer music, but electronic music emerged darker and more experimental after the late 70s. 7. Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company - Ceres Motion This is just a small section of a 15-minute long minimalist journey. It's well worth soaking up the incredibly euphoric full-length version. 8. Kraftwerk - Antenna The Men Machine certainly weren't the first electronic group, but they were the first to sound like they were in complete control of the machines and to create their own unique sound – mysterious and unearthly but totally catchy. 9. Avida - Il Grillo e la Formica Some abrasive but romantic electro madness from early 80s Florence, Italy. This features the great Maurizio Dami. 10. David Bowie - Weeping Wall From the majestic B-side of ‘Low', Bowie's Eno-influenced homage to 1970s German electronic music. 11. Makers - Don't Challenge Me A wonderful, obscure synth-soul classic from a recent compilation ‘Personal Space: Electronic soul from 1974 to 1984'. That's all I know … 12. Suicide - Touch Me These New York electro-punk pioneers took electronic music down a completely different back alley – one littered with junkies, muggers and seedy glamour. 13. Cluster – Caramel Cluster was Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, two of the most legendary figures of 70s German experimental music (OK then, Krautrock – I was trying to avoid using that ridiculous label, but it's inescapable). This warped minimal groove brings to mind a bunch of ecstatic robots dancing in a forest clearing. Anyway, Dies ist verdammt gut… 14. E.M.A.K. - Filmmuzik The E.M.A.K. collective were part of an early 80s second wave of German electronic music. Futuristic techno, minimal, deep house – you can hear the germs of all these movements in this track. Although it is 1982 in Germany and these things don't exist yet, do they? 15. Laurie Anderson - Big Science Famous for taking ‘O Superman', an abstract 8-minute minimal experiment, to the top of the charts – that could happen in 1982. 16. Rhythim is Rhythim - Kaotic Harmony The next chapter is well known … when black kids in the urban decay of Detroit, USA, started to absorb some of these sci-fi sounds from Europe and fused them with the ghosts of soul and disco to create Techno. This is a glimpse of how powerful that fusion could be. 17. Cluster - Rosa Closing with another track from the ‘Zuckerzeit' LP. Deep, sad and otherworldly. Magic stuff.
This Eurock Live Special Podcast features a retrospective tour of the music of Cluster and a free-ranging interview with German electronic musicians, Dieter Moebius and Joachim Roedelius. The two reminisce about their early days with Human Being and Kluster (with Conrad Schnitzler) before they founded Cluster. Also featured is a taste of their more recent work, including a new album from Roedelius and American musician Tim Story, who also talks about their collaboration. Another sonic time capsule from Archie Patterson and Eurock!
