Electronic music pioneers Tangerine Dream will head to North America this fall for a full US/Canada tour. The band are well-known for their innovative music, which inspired the hugely popular EDM genre, among others. The band has over 60 film credits, including soundtracks for “Risky Business”, “Firestarter”, “Thief” and “Vision Quest”. The band composed the soundtrack for “Grand Theft Auto V”, the 3rd most successful video game of all time, with 175+ million units sold.
Founded by Edgar Froese in 1967, Tangerine Dream were formative in the genre of electronic music, with long instrumental tracks based on synthesizer and sequencer sounds, later known as “Berlin School” and “Kosmische Musik.”
Their groundbreaking record ‘Phaedra’, released in 1974, reached gold status in the UK, and it was also the band’s first hit album on the Virgin Records label to whom they had recently signed. The recording became a milestone in electronic music. Over the last 50 years, the band has released more than 100 studio albums, created over 60 film scores, and were nominated for a Grammy seven times.
After Edgar Froese’s death in 2015, Tangerine Dream’s line-up now consists of Thorsten Quaeschning, Hoshiko Yamane, and Paul Frick. The subsequent albums ‘Quantum’ Gate and ‘Raum’ are based on Edgar Froese’s musical sketches and ideas.
