Barbican Music Library: Tangerine Dream Exhibition Tour

The Barbican Music Library presents a free exhibition, 'Tangerine Dream: Zeitraffer', an analogue journey through unseen footage, unpublished articles and original synthesizers with one of electronic music's pioneering groups.
Watch this exhibition tour featuring interviews with curators Felix Moser, Bianca Froese-Acquaye and Melanie Reinisch and archive clips of Tangerine Dream performances and interviews.
The band Tangerine Dream was founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese in West Berlin. They were early pioneers of electronic music, who, with albums like Phaedra and Rubycon, laid the foundation for new styles such as Ambient and Trance. Through uncovered photographs and videos, original synthesizers, cassettes and vinyl, this exhibition reveals London's key role in the international breakthrough of Tangerine Dream during the 1970s. Fast-forward to the present day, when synthesizers and sequencers are being continually rediscovered in music and pop culture, and enjoy a retrospective ‘time-lapse’ (Zeitraffer in German) across the band’s influential 50-year history.
Visit 'Tangerine Dream: Zeitraffer' for free in the Barbican Music Library on Level 2 of the Barbican Centre until 15 December 2021 bit.ly/3BPhqqp

Wow, this is the first time I see it. I started in the 70s to hear and enjoy electronic music. I heard Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and Edgar Froese and I have visited some concerts. Some in special locations, like the Fabrik in Hamburg/Germany (I have done a small cassette recording there) and some big at the CCH in Hamburg too. Later I got the chance to buy one of the unique synthesizer instruments of Tangerine Dream and luckily kept it until today. The seller told me, this is from Tangerine Dream and after that, I have seen in in a Tangerine Dream Story of the "Keybord" magazine in Germany. This has been the only instrument without name in the description. Later I continue my hunt in electronic music and collected a lot of LP and later CD with this music or direction (Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Kitaro, W. Carlos, Alan Parsons P., Mike Oldfied, a lot of K. Schulzes IC Label, Tomita (left handed Dream), Brian Eno, David Bowie (low), OMD, Human League, Software, J.M. Jarre, up to nowadays Nils Frahm (Berlin) wow and much more! I have spend a lot of money to buy sythesizers, effects and drum machines by myself and also the audio equipment. At that time I enoyed that music mostly with headphones - so I can shut down and take a fly appart of all problems and have a free fly all around, which has been very important for me!!!

Tangerine Dream's music had a profound effect on me as it broke through prior forms of music to create a sound that was pure, new, and interesting; and showing that it was possible to break out of old modes with new technology.

Excellent! Great Film x

Thankfully they decided to get with William Freidkin. Sorcerer was my introduction to TD. I would not be the person I am today without their music.

I don’t recognise the music at 0:42-1:20 and 1:48-2:54. Which recordings are they from? They almost sound more like Free System Projekt than Tangerine Dream.

[@mpingo91]

1:36 Young Klaus Schulze on the left I guess.
