A pioneer in the field of electronic music, Hans-Joachim Roedelius is considered one of the founders of contemporary popular electronic music. Born on October 26th, 1934, in Friedenau / Berlin, he has lived in Baden, south of Vienna since 1978 where he began his career as a professional composer/musician/writer in the late sixties. He has appeared on well over 100 releases between his own work and collaborations with various composers and musicians including Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, Michael Rother, and many others.

Roedelius was a founding member of several experimental groups and projects such as "Geräusche," "Plus/minus," "Per Sonare," "Kluster," "Cluster," "Harmonia," and more. In 2011, he formed a new variant of Cluster called Qluster alongside Onnen Bock after breaking off formal ties with Dieter Moebius. Throughout his career, Roedelius has also collaborated with choreographers for various festivals including the Wiener Festwochen and Donaufestival.

Influenced by artists like Cluster, Harmonia, and Ashra, Roedelius' unique sound experiments have

180 gram vinyl with cd. what a collaboration! the british singer-songwriter lloyd cole has always been a cluster fan, especially of the 1976 lp 'sowiesoso'. cole released his own heavily cluster-influenced album 'plastic wood' in 2001. roedelius liked it and, over the next decade, cole and roedelius considered working together from time to time, but never actually got around to it. it was not until 2011 when they finally met in vienna that they could finally begin in earnest. the album reveals mature, carefully composed music, as if cole and roedelius had been working together for years already. both artists focus on electronic sounds in a selection of succinct, direct pieces, free of musical garrulousness. cole neither sings nor plays guitar and roedelius rarely touches the keys of his grand piano. instead, both musicians have developed a subtle soundscape which only drifts towards pure noise on one track. all of the other 'studies' on the album move within a vast spectrum of harmonic wonder and rhythmic stepping stones.
