Who is Conrad Schnitzler?
Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011), composer and concept artist, is one of the most important representatives of Germanys
electronic music avant-garde. A student of Joseph Beuys, he founded Berlins legendary Zodiak Free Arts Lab, a subculture
club, in 1967/68, was a member of Tangerine Dream (together with Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese) and Kluster (with
Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and also released countless solo albums.
Who is Pyrolator?
Pyrolator, born Kurt Dahlke in 1958, co-founder of the legendary German label and publisher Ata Tak, member of various
seminal post-punk bands such as D.A.F. and Der Plan, also released solo albums under his artist name from 1979 onwards.
What is the concept of the Con-Struct series?
Conrad Schnitzler liked to embark on daily excursions through the sonic diversity of his synthesizers. Finding
exceptional sounds with great regularity, he preserved them for use in combination with each other in subsequent live
performances. He thus amassed a vast sound archive of his discoveries over time. When the m=minmal label in Berlin
reissued two Conrad Schnitzler albums at the outset of the 2010 decade, label honcho Jens Struever was granted access to
this audio library.
Struever came up with the idea of con-structing new compositions, not remixes, from the archived material. On completion
of the first Con-Struct album, he decided to develop the concept into a series, with different electronic musicians
invited into Schnitzlers unique world of sound. Andreas Reihse (Kreidler) was responsible for the second instalment in
2013 and Struever chose solo artist Kurt Dahlke, alias Pyrolator (and one third of Der Plan), to assume Conrad
Schnitzlers mantle for the next.
