My Take
Klaus Schulze is, to me, one of the true architects of electronic music. After passing through Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, he forged a solo path of more than 60 albums across six decades, sculpting long, immersive synthesizer pieces that seem to dissolve your sense of time. I love putting on his work alone at night and letting it pull me into its depths. His passing in 2022 closed an extraordinary chapter, yet the cosmic, meditative soundscapes he built feel timeless. He was a solitary visionary who essentially composed entire universes from sound, and I hold him in deep respect.
