some really nice words from Ulrich Schnauss and a tribute to Edgar Froese: its very hard to find words in such an unbearably painful and sad time. edgar froese (tangerine dream) has died on tuesday. i will remember edgar as a person whos been caring and empathetic in dark times, who was never afraid to give either encouraging or critical feedback wherever necessary, whos been incredibly inspirational on a philosophical level (far beyond just plain musical concerns) and had a profound impact on my thinking. i guess ive often struggled to recognize authority figures - however, its never been like that with edgar: even when we disagreed, i always respected his input and more than once had to acknowledge that he was right in hindsight. essentially, in many ways edgar had the qualities of the kind of father most of us would like to, but few are actually lucky enough to have. im eternally grateful for the advice and wisdom edgar has shared - and i will treasure it for the rest of my life. finally, the world of electronic music has lost one of its most unique talents - and an artist who constantly managed to challenge and re-invent himself. rather than one of the classics from the 70s or 80s im therefore posting a video for a recent work by edgar below - one of my favourite pieces of the last ten years. the dream will never be the same.
