Irrlicht
Shrink-wrapped
Re-Release of the originally 1972 released Klaus Schulze Album Irrlicht. This popular classic Klaus Schulze title is upvalued with a Bonustrack and extended linernotes.Klaus Schulze talks about Irrlicht: Irrlicht still has more connections to Musique concrete than with today's electronics. I still never owned a synthesizer at the time. I had a damaged amplifier, which I had hotwired and which only survived for this album, after Irrlicht, it completely broke! When you turned up the volume control it caused internal feedback, a sine, and with the help of the tremolo I let it chirp. It got broken because of the feedback. I also modified the organ so that it wouldn't sound like a normal organ. I also had a cassette recorder with a cheap microphone. With this device I went to the FU (the renowned Freie Universität Berlin) to record the orchestra there. I then used a few filters to alienate these recordings in order to make them sound strange.The Colloquium Musica Orchestra was a real classical orchestra. I just went to one of their rehearsals and said, I like what you're doing here but could you play something completely different for me for half an hour? I'm just making a record. And the conductor asked me, what would you like to have? Well, I said, I don't care, just play anything! I just want to have the sound. I'm going to play the tape backwards anyway. He said, Then come to a rehearsal and record that! So I got an orchestra and didn't even have to pay for it.
