Roedelius

Support: Francesca Guccione presents „Euphonia“

For more than 50 years now, Hans-Joachim Roedelius has been improvising his self portrait and he still hasn't finished it. True to his calling - a sound painter - he's been poised to sonic canvas rendering his psyche in glorious lo-fi. Roedelius overall impact on many musical genre is immense and he has often been credited as one of the ubermeiesters of what became known, affectionately, as Krautrock. He has released over 100 records, encompassing experimental and leftfield departures to more traditional soundtracks and classical compositions and has a loyal fan base of young and old.

Like Woody Allen´s Zelig, he is a curiously omnipresent figure at several key historic points in time - he was a key player at the birth of Kosmische, Krautrock, Synth Pop and Ambient. Co-founder of Berlin's first free art studio, the Zodiak Arts Lab (1967), he was also a founder member of various groups, namely Human Being, Kluster, Cluster, Harmonia, Tempus Transit and Lunzprojekt.
