74 year old composer, musician and producer Klaus Schulze, who was born in Berlin and now settled in rural northern Germany, is known all over the world as the pioneer of Electronic Music and master of the Moog synthesiser. He shaped the 'Berlin School' and is the forefather of innumerable Electronic Music styles and genres. The ‘godfather of Techno Music' – as he is fondly called by some internationally-known DJs and remixers – has rolled out his extensive sounds, played his legendary sequences and created his unique 'Schulze atmosphere' for more than 50 years now. Beginning with Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus has created over 50 solo albums, including Irrlich, Mirage, X, Dune, Farscape, Kontinuum, Silhouettes, and now Deus Arrakis. Creating either 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 remains faithful to his unmistakable style of making music, while keeping an open mind for innovations and experiments.
