Biography

Edgar Wilmar Froese (born June 6, 1944) is an artist and electronic music pioneer, best known as the founding member of the electronic music band Tangerine Dream.

Froese was born in Tilsit, East Prussia (now Sovetsk, Russia) during World War II. After showing an early aptitude for art, Froese enrolled at the Academy of the Arts in West Berlin to study painting and sculpture. In 1965, he formed a band called The Ones, which played rock and R&B standards at popular bohemian nightclubs. While playing in Spain, The Ones were invited to perform at Salvador Dali’s villa in Cadaques. Froese’s encounter with Salvador Dali was highly influential, inspiring him to pursue more experimental directions with his music. The Ones disbanded in 1967, having only released one single (“Lady Greengrass”/”Love of Mine”).

After returning to Berlin, Froese began recruiting musicians for the free-rock band that would become Tangerine Dream.

    Hi, I'm a fan of Edgar Froese, and I acknowledge that has had great influence on my music. For a long time, has been one of my main icons. I wish I could hear my last album to see what you think (thanks): http://www.jamendo.com/es/list/a108821/era-cibernetica-cibernetic-age

    I'm pretty torn apart about naming my favourite album - Macula Transfer vs Epsilon In Malaysian Pale. Both are packed with top music full of pictures and sound.

    There are many so many to get back to. Home is where I am and your music was one of fundamental influence to my own. Reaction to backwards and forwards we go, chancing it out where the music will flow. Happy listening all
