Klangtraube (Edgar Froese Memorial Day 2019) (2020)

"On the occasion of the 4th Edgar Froese Memorial Day (EFMD) on 26th January 2019 at the Ballhaus Rixdorf in Berlin, Bianca Froese-Acquaye invited Hans Joachim Roedelius, 85 years old electro pioneer of the first hour and co-founder of the legendary Berlin Zodiak Free Arts Lab (Zodiak Club) in 1969. Hans-Joachim's soulful piano playing blends in fantastically with the rhythmic beats and sounds of Paul Frick, who just entered Tangerine Dream, and the distinctive synth sounds of Thorsten Quaeschning, long-time member and musical director of Tangerine Dream. Hoshiko Yamane, also a member of Tangerine Dream since 2011, completes the session with her extraordinary violin play. Klangtraube is a very unique, almost meditative piece of music that invites the listener to dream. A piece of music for dreaming and reflection, a sound journey into another dimension, wide and intangible, like the hearts and minds that will be opened. A dignified and extraordinary session of four musicians in memory of Edgar Froese." (TDI)
