Klaus Schulze explains the new Big Wall he has been using on stage since 1996
"It's from Quasimidi, especially made for me. It's shaped like the "Big Moog". Essentially, it's seven independent Polymorphs, which is a kind of a rebuild of the old Moog sequencer: it also has eight steps in three different rows. For instance I can use one for filtering, one for the envelope and so on, whatever I want. In addition, the new Big Wall includes seven Rave-O-Lution 309 drum computers, each with five MIDI channels, the fifth being the sequencer for synth sounds.
The Rave-O-Lutions are used for rhythm: bass, drums and percussion, whilst the Polymorphs do all the real sequencer work. The whole unit is linked with a rack-mounted "Live Clock" that handles program changes and the MIDI clock to synchronize the whole unit."

maar erm... define "krautrock"

mischien ook wel ff loik om te X-pleenun... en in hoeverre het synth gerelateerd dan toch ook?

Kraut Rock refers to the legions of German bands of the early '70s that expanded the sonic possibilities of art and progressive rock. Instead of following in the direction of their British and American counterparts, who were moving toward jazz and classical-based compositions and concept albums, the German bands became more mechanical and electronic. Working with early synthesizers and splicing together seemingly unconnected reels of tape, bands like Faust, Can, and Neu created a droning, pulsating sound that owed more to the avant garde than to rock & roll. Although the bands didn't make much of an impact while they were active in the '70s, their music anticipated much post-punk of the early '80s, particularly industrial rock. Kraut rock also came into vogue in the '90s, when groups like Stereolab and Tortoise began incorporating the hypnotic rhythms and electronic experiments of the German art-rock bands into their own, vaguely avant-garde indie rock.

Bekende Krautrockers:

Amon Düül
Ash Ra Tempel
Can
Cluster
Faust
Manuel Göttsching
Harmonia
Neu!
Popol Vuh
Conrad Schnitzler
Klaus Schulze
Tangerine Dream
Kraftwerk (met name de eerste elpees)

Krautrock is dus vooral van toepassing op een lichting Duitse bands die in de jaren 70 op het randje van avantgardisme zaten, maar de term wordt ook wel gebruikt om zo'n beetje alle Duitse rock uit die tijd aan te duiden.

De link naar synthesizers is bij de meeste van de bovengenoemden wel duidelijk: ze konden er niet genoeg van krijgen!

in eind jaren 60 en de jaren 70 onstonden er allerlei bandjes door alternatievelingen, hippies ed die allemaal diie duitse sound hadden en allemaal muziek maakten die t hield tussen progresieve rock, symfo, psychdelisch, electronisch ed .
Je hoort meteen aan de sound dat ze min of meer toch rond t zelfde kader muziek maken: KRAUTROCK !!!!!!!!!!!

[size]


Krautrock is onstaan in de jaren 60. de naam komt waarschijnlijk van een song van 1 der eerste Amon Duul II lp's
Krautrock is soort hippie muziek / progressieve / electronische stroming in de jaren 60 en 70 gemaakt in Duitsland, daar onstaond dus de Krautrock scene.

Kraftwerk behoren ook tot de krautrock, de eerste 2 lp's zijn dan ook met rockinstrumenten gemaakt en met leden van de groep NEU!
Tangerine Dream zijn ook als psychedelische rockband begonnen en experimenteren veel met rock en zou je ook bij Krautrock kunnen zetten.

Cosmic Jokers was een jam-band met Manual Gottching .
