RIP Klaus Schulze

2022-04-27 by Brandon Scott EMERITUS | 42 Comments
German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze who was perhaps best known for his time in the renowned new-age/kosmische act Tangerine Dream and his extensive solo catalog has sadly passed away at the age of 74.

A post on his Facebook page reads:

"Dear fans,
with deep sorrow we have to inform you that Klaus yesterday on 26th. April 2022 at the age of 74 after a long illness, but yet suddenly and unexpectedly passed away.
Not only does he leave a great musical legacy, but also a wife, two sons and four grandchildren.
On behalf of him and the family, we would like to thank you for your loyalty and support throughout the years - it has meant a lot!
His music will live on and so will our memories..
There was still so much to write about him as a human and artist, but he probably would have said by now: nuff said!
The farewell will take place in the closest family circle, just as he wished. You know what he was like: his music matters, not his person...
Maximilian Schulze
also on behalf of the family and the Klaus Schulze team"


Klaus was an extremely prolific musician, having released over 60 albums during the course of his career, most recently pairing up with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack for Dune.

RIP

Really sad news, didn't they release an album just last month?

I've been slowly going over Tangerine Dream discog these last couple of years. We definitely lost a legend.
