Conrad Schnitzler Portrait

[alexnordh]

I think Sweden needs this kind of person as a cultural minister, instead of someone that only listens to Opera and reads Strindberg.

RIP Alte Freund

[LouiePlaysDrums]

RIP Maestro Schnitzler!! He passed away on August 4th which is also Klaus Schulze's birthday. Schnitzler and Schulze just happened to be in Tangerine Dream together at the same time.

[kosmischesynth]

ps. what is the musik on this from?

[DrSartorius84]

The first music we hear is Zug.  Not sure what's playing when we're seeing the organ and other things. The strings at the end most likely don't exist as their own track.

Schnitzler comes across as a bit nuts. Like Kraftwerk, he isolated himself (maybe cos hes afraid of travel, agraphobic) and built an ego out of it. Yet he is bald, bug-eyed and fantastically obscure. Did I mention that he used to walk round berlin in a cream-leather moterbike suit and helmet with a microphone stuck to the helmet. A visionary nutter, in a nutshell. His homepage is CONceptual art; a dead end with an e-mail address and a experimental-photo. What a guy. WHERE DO I BEGIN TO EXPLAIN!

A visionary artist!

I do not know any of Schnitzler's work yet, but this sounds very, very interesting and good to me. I stumbled over this name a few time without looking any further.

(On a sidenote, anyone familiar with the Austrian group Monoton and their albums Monoton 02 (from 1980) and Monoton 07 Y(81)? Great stuff too!!!).

'Rot'. Incredible.

Conny very kindly sent me a signed tape of unreleased material; I still have that 20 years later! His lps black and red and blue are just amazing, he is a million times better than the band he left in 1970!!

Very very weird guy but when I wrote to him in the late 70's as a teenager he was kind enough to write back to me on a handwritten postcard.I've still got it 28 years later !!!!
