Biography

Electronic composer Robert Schroeder was born in Aachen, Germany on May 20, 1955; after receiving his first guitar at age 13, he began exploring experimental sounds and techniques, eventually giving up playing in 1970 to completely immerse himself in electronics and engineering. After high school Schroeder worked in researching and developing electronic instruments, in his off hours honing his own synthesizer sound; in 1978 he signed to Klaus Schulze's IC label, and a year later released his debut album, Harmonic Ascendant. The aptly titled Floating Music followed in 1980, and with 1981's Mosaique, Schroeder began combining electronics with live instrumentation; the follow-up, Galaxie Cygnus A, was created in conjunction with a multimedia presentation.
