Roboterwerke



"Robotwerke, aka Dieter Kolb and Franz Aumüller, were one of the first groups to experiment with electronic music in the mid-60s, inventing some of the first self-made drum machines. Look HERE Their fans include such luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Afrika Bambaataa, Sven Vath and Kraftwerk. Since the 60's they had allowed themselves to become more and more inspired by the Caribbean sounds of steeldrum and Soca, and developed their own brand of Soca influenced funky disco electro. Also look out for Supersempfft.. even more of the same dudes with guests doing that Calypso synth thang! I just might post that up soon.

Elements of Soca Synth? and some great straight minimal synth.

Ashra



Beginning as Ash Ra Tempel, later Ashra, then solo as Manuel Göttsching was part of some of the most notable German groups of the 1970s and 80s, as well as a solo artist, he is one of the most important guitarists of the Kosmische Musik genre. He also participated in the Cosmic Jokers (Dieter Dierks, Gille Lettmann, Harald Grosskopf, Jürgen Dollase, Klaus Schulze) sessions. His style and technique influenced dozens of artists in the post-Eno ambient and New Age scenes in the 1980s and 1990s. His 1984 album E2-E4 has also been influential in the development of house and electronic music in general, a classic in beautifully orchestrated Minimal Synth.

3 Teens Kill 4 (3TK4) were a New York City (East Village) band from the early 80's.

Members included Hattie Hathaway and the late David Wojnarowicz

David Wojnarowicz (1954 - 1992) was a painter, photographer, writer, filmmaker, musician, performance artist, and political activist in many different arenas, including LBGT rights & issues, AIDS, and Free Speech politics. He was internationally prominent in the New York City art world and active in the performance art, poetry, and underground/experimental music scene between 1978 and 1992, and continues to receive more and more posthumous recognition for his artistic and literary output.
