   Conrad Schnitzler is a genuine legend in the krautrock and electronic  
   music worlds. Schnitzler studied under Joseph Beuys before joining an  
   early Tangerine Dream. Their first album Electronic Meditation shows a  
   band highly influenced by Schnitzler's unique, singular approach.  
   Schnitzler left Tangerine Dream to form Kluster with friends Dieter  
   Moebius and Hans Joachim Roedelius. When Schnitzler left Kluster they  
   changed their name to Cluster eventually merging with Michael Rother (of  
   Neu!) to form Harmonia, a group who Brian Eno once called the most  
   important rock group on the planet. Schnitzler also founded Eruption in  
   1970 along with Klaus Schultz, Manuel Gottsching (Ash Ra Tempel), and  
   Klaus Freudigmann.

   Looking back at Conrad Schnitzler's career it becomes obvious that he  
   was an architecht who helped draw the blueprints for some very  
   significant musical movements. Perhaps overlooked, or at least  
   desperately underappreciated, it hasn't slowed Schnitzler down. Since  
   leaving Kluster Conrad Schnitzler has composed dillegently for  
   electronics and piano. Now located in Dallgow Germany he continues to  
   accumulate equiptment and recordings of what he says is  cold, hard  
   electonic sound. 

   Trigger Trilogy consists of three discs each selected from hundreds of  
   hours of Schnitzler's private recordings. Each represents a one of the  
   few unique approaches that Schnitzler takes to recording, each uniquely  
   identified and defined by Schnitzler. Within each of these recordings  
   one can hear how Schnitzler influenced a generation of artists not only  
   in Germany but the world around and how he's brought those sounds into  
   the modern day. It's also apparent in these recordings that Schnitzler  
   is a thoughtful and enlightened, a total and pioneer floating freely in  
   a world of sound.  (
   Trigger One consists of what Schnitzler calls his Solo Voices or Solo  
   Electronics. This particular recording happens to be rhythmically based  
   electronic work. Recognizing that in traditional music the melodic line  
   is subordinate to the ensemble leaving it no true impression of it's own  
   Schnitzler has liberated the solo voice in his own music and given it  
   it's own vocation as noise, tone and sound. By superimposing several  
   voices or forming a sound environment by mixing Schnitzler has created  
   new dimensions, worlds of sound where the individual voice is no longer  
   subservient to synchronization or the conductor's baton. The results are  
   sound combinations which adhere to no logic. (   
    The strength of the individual voice lies in its freedom from vis-a-vis  
   any sound.  Conrad Schnitzler

   Trigger Two is what Schnitzler refers to as Free Concert Mix Solos:
    From solo to mix, from melodic line to ensemble. Accumulation of  
   voices, note clusters which are not opposed to one other but are equal  
   and parallel in a free play of energy. The mix of solo voices produces
   (   concentrations of notes and noises, tangles, compressions, sound   
   (   constellations, sound catastrophes, acoustic phenomena's. (   The
   individuality of each voice is absorbed into the chaos of the  (   overall 
   sound, is held there and blurred. Musical developments emerge  (   from 
   the atmosphere of the individual voices of the ensemble and its  (variations.
   Sound sequences spill forth, revealing tight and loose webs  (   of notes, 
   changes in tempo, varying expressions of volume and dynamics    (and shifts
   in the direction of the sound pattern. A sound chaos which  (   appears to 
   change automatically becomes perceptible. the indeterminate  (   starting 
   order for the solo voices create an open unfinished work,  (   containing 
   a wealth of episodes with sound sequences, environmental  (   associations, 
   stylistic devices from other worlds and interplay's of  (   nature and technology.

   Trigger Three, the final disc in the Trigger Trilogy, is a Con-Cert.   
   This is a tradition that Schnitzler has been working in for quite some  
   time. Originally using cassettes and now using compact discs Schnitzler  
   creates live mixes of multiple recordings. The sounds are intentionally  
   designed, shaped, constructed and composed in specific relation to one  
   another.

    The articulation of sound in an era where new technology allows for the  
    (   creation of an unlimited number of new sounds calls for new recording  
    (   techniques. These are offered by tape, CD or computer hard disks. (   In 
    the past I used conventional cassettes to create my concerts, but now  (   
    the sounds are recorded on CD and can be used in the concerts thanks to  
    (   their enhanced quality.
    (   The individual tracks have fixed starting points which can be adjusted 
    (   by a number of seconds and thus produce different results. The volume of 
    (   the individual tracks can be adapted to the acoustics of the location  
    (   and the listening experience will vary for each location as a  (   consequence.
