Qluster

Kluster – Cluster – and now Qluster – an extraordinary shedding of skin of one of the most important German electronic groups. Hans-Joachim Roedelius was there from the beginning (Kluster from 1969 on with Conrad Schnitzler and Dieter Moebius; Cluster from 1971 on with Dieter Moebius; Qluster with Onnen Bock since 2010). Little need be said about Roedelius, whose collaborations with Conrad Schnitzler, Cluster and Harmonia earned him a worldwide reputation as a pioneer of electronic music.  Onnen Bock (born in 1974), a qualified musician and sound installationist, played a part in the Zeitkratzer ensemble, worked together with the likes of Christina Kubisch and was a sound engineer for the Berlin Philharmonic.

Rufen
'Calling': more hushed, luminous keyboard music from the reborn Cluster lineage. Qluster let melodies surface slowly from analogue haze, patient, warm and quietly devotional. Ambient kosmische at its most human.
Lauschen
'Listening': Qluster distil their art to its essence. Soft analogue tones and slow, deliberate motion invite deep attention, chamber electronics of great tenderness from Roedelius and Onnen Bock.
Fragen
'Questions', a companion in Qluster's quiet dialogue. Roedelius and Onnen Bock spin delicate, unhurried keyboard music, more felt than composed. Intimate, spacious and gently searching ambient kosmische.
Antworten
Roedelius and Onnen Bock as Qluster: 'answers' in the form of hushed, exploratory electronics. Analogue keyboards drift through patient, chamber-like pieces, the Cluster spirit reborn, meditative and warm.
