Cluster Quotes

Germany,
1971 – 2010.

Cluster were a German musical group formed by the duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius in 1971 and associated with West Germany's krautrock and kosmische music scenes. Borne from the earlier Berlin-based group Kluster, they collaborated with musicians such as Conny Plank, Brian Eno, and Michael Rother; with the latter, they formed the influential side-project Harmonia. After first disbanding in 1981, Cluster reunited several times: from 1989 to 1997, and from 2007 to 2010.

The Zodiak is history. I don't think it would be possible today to built up such an artslab, at least not in the way it worked out at the time, which was somehow accidentally, as part of the change of the paradigmata at the time. Nowadays as always people / artists have to learn to be free, to free themselves from being / feeling addicted to what's mainstream, what sells, what's successsful in terms of what the market expects. Contemporary music / art needs charismatic personalities who don't care at all about what the massmarket agrees to. There were and are not many of those personalities over the milleniums, as you perhaps realise.

It's like with any art, there's always something new to develope, new colours, deepness, awareness, beauty. Each generation has new fields to develope, to work out, making life itself into art.
