Conrad Schnitzler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad Schnitzler (b. Düsseldorf, 1937) is a German musician. Schnitzler has been a major, though reclusive, figure on the European music scene since the late 1960s. Schnitzler was one of the founding members of Tangerine Dream, and later the band Kluster. He left both bands soon, to focus on his solo-work. He continued to record from his home studio in Dallgow, Germany, creating CD-Rs which he sells independently. Schnitzler has also participated in several collaborations with other electronic musicians. He recorded Acon (2002), a somewhat abstract piece, with former bandmate Hans-Joachim Roedelius. His album with American electronic composer Michael Thomas Roe, Mi.T.-CON 04 (2005), has been compared to his earlier works such as Con/Ballet Statique and Con 3.
