'Kraut-rock' pioneer Klaus Schulze died Tuesday at age 74.
, a pioneer in the field of electronic music and leading figure in what came to be known as “Kraut-rock,” died Tuesday. He was 74 and the death was described in an announcement from his record label as coming “after a long disease, but all of a sudden.”
Despite his illness, Schulze had new music in the pipeline. A new song, “Osiris Pt#1,” was released earlier this month in advance of an album, “Deus Arrakis,” that is set to come out June 10. Schulze’s impact was recently heard in the film “Dune,” interpolated into the score by an admirer, Hans Zimmer. “When I was writing the end titles, I realized there was a bass line that I’d heard before,” Zimmer told Den of Geek when the film was coming out. “And I suddenly remembered that Klaus Schulze wrote a song called ‘Frank Herbert.’ I basically lifted the bass line from that.
His first solo album, “Irrlicht,” came out in 1972, and was characterized as an example of ambient music. At that point, the composer did not yet own a synthesizer and was using a modified electric organ. “Synthesizers were still very rare and expensive” when he was working on his debut, he said.
