Stefan Schneider in Concert, Sept. 3 2011 @ Goethe

by with No Comment concerts


Date: September 3, 2011
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Time: 8pm
Entry: Free

Stefan Schneider is a legendary figure in the international scene of electronic and experimental music. Together with his bands Kreidler (1994-99) and to rococo rot (since 1995), he was involved in drafting a collective electronic music, whose character is formative worldwide.
Schneider also used to play with the pioneers of electronic music Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (Cluster). Stefan recorded his last solo release The African Chamber together with Nicholas Addo Nettey who was part of Fela Kuti’s band in the 70s and now lives in Berlin. The African Chamber plays with a (European) fiction of traditional African music without any authentic background. In fact, it is his first time to travel to Africa!
Stefan Schneider is here to start a new cooperation with Sven Kacirek and musicians from the drummer village near Malindi.
