Kluster

All images are copyrighted by their respective copyright owners.

As Kluster, Conrad Schnitzler and Hans-Joachim Roedelius, were pioneers of sound from a slightly older generation, using traditional instruments in the most untraditional ways to craft their art. They founded the Zodiac Free Arts Lab in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, a place where most of what would become "krautrock" found its seed. Later members included Dieter Moebius, Wolfgang Seidel, and Klaus Freudigmann.

Founded: 1969
