"Works 1968 - 2005"; a comprehensive collection providing
both a best of and a fantastic entry point to the
pioneering and inspirational musical life of Hans Joachim
Roedelius. For the first time ever a double CD release
featuring music from a multitude of projects and spanning a
period of five decades!
From being a founding member of Kluster in 1969 whoÆs
eponymous debut pioneered the brick-a-brack approach to
electronic music and is still revered today. To working with
a long list of impressive collaborators such as Holger
Czukay (Can), Conrad Plank (Krautrock producer
extraordinaire) and forming Cluster by adding luminaries such
as Brian Eno and Michael Rother (NEU!) to the ranks.
However, that is only half the story of a extra ordinary
life which has seen him endure the twin trials of a
prodigious childhood and enforced membership to the Hitler
Youth (Hitler went crazy. He wanted us all to be child
soldiers in the Hitlerjugend and go off to fight the
Russians.) to being imprisoned and then later to occupy a
multitude of roles in life.
Roedelius first prodigious steps into creative life began
in his childhood, when he found himself thrust into roles as
a child actor in six German feature films before the age of
ten. The War and its aftermath then presented particularly
difficult times to RoedeliusÆ life, with his family forced
to evacuate toward the Russian border in 1943. The post-war
atmosphere became less friendly still with a sinister new
civil police known as The Stasi marshalling the then shaping
East Germany. Uncomfortable and incongruent Roedelius fled
this regime, selling fake jewellery and living in a single
apartment with refugees for company. Only to be arrested and
interrogated as he attempted to cross the border to visit
family in 1952.
Given time and freedom, Roedelius found himself in the
creative outskirts of the different new society in which he
was now immersed. Eventually in the 1960s, following hippy
expeditions (at one time he was masseuse to the President of
the French Republic. I used to go in and out of the ElysΘe
Palace barefoot it was part of my "Hippie Healer" outfit,
along with the long hair and sheepskin jacket.) and various
dabblings in almost-jazz, Roedelius set out as a
professional composer, indulging in experiments with sound
that he described as æanarchic musical actionism.
Hans Joachim Roedelius overall impact on many musical genre
is immense and he has oft been credited as one of the
Ubermeisters 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.
For the latter this release will provide a perfect summation
of an eclectic and experimental artist that has continued to
inspire and influence artists all over the world. For the
former or those not familiar with his music or life
listening to the "Works 1968 - 2005" project will be like
discovering a hidden chest of music that will be long
treasured.
