When I was very young I was introduced to Tangerine Dream by one of my siblings. Most of it was too ethereal and spacey for me, but I found that some of it I loved. It was only decades later that I found out that the TD that I loved is classed as 'Berlin-School' sequencer music. I like most forms of electronic music, but there's something about Berlin-School sequences that really appeals to me - deeply.
As TD became awful, irrelevant, and frankly, embarassing, I discovered artists like Klaus Schulze who showed that electronic music could evolve, and it was possible to produce BS sequenced music using modern sounds and for it still to have emotion and power. Recently I discovered Redshift. I'm probably the last person on the planet to discover them, but I'm glad I did. I was beginning to think that it was a genetic requirement to be German in order to produce BS music, but Redshift (who are English) have put paid to that fallacy.
Now, I want to produce Redshift-like BS music, and in the process document my findings and my tools along the way.
