Conrad Schnitzler has sometimes been referred to as the “grandfather” of electronic music, and it’s claimed that he convinced Tangerine Dream and Kluster to convert to electronic music. Schnitzler disliked travel (and became increasingly reclusive), and so throughout the 1980s he devised a musician-less tour. He broke compositions into tracks and recorded on separate cassettes, in such a way that the performance would be fresh on each re-performance. Schnitzler’s releases from the 90s abandon distribution altogether, favoring instead personal, unique transmission.
These tracks feature garbled, crypto-political repeated over haunting synthesizer melodies. The Creel Pone edition also includes a hand-cut card-stock insert and the silver Creel Pone seal.
