A pioneer in the field of electronic music, Hans-Joachim Roedelius is considered one of the founders of contemporary popular electronic music. Born on October 26th, 1934, in Friedenau / Berlin, he has lived in Baden, south of Vienna since 1978 where he began his career as a professional composer/musician/writer in the late sixties. He has appeared on well over 100 releases between his own work and collaborations with various composers and musicians including Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, Michael Rother, and many others.

Roedelius was a founding member of several experimental groups and projects such as "Geräusche," "Plus/minus," "Per Sonare," "Kluster," "Cluster," "Harmonia," and more. In 2011, he formed a new variant of Cluster called Qluster alongside Onnen Bock after breaking off formal ties with Dieter Moebius. Throughout his career, Roedelius has also collaborated with choreographers for various festivals including the Wiener Festwochen and Donaufestival.

Influenced by artists like Cluster, Harmonia, and Ashra, Roedelius' unique sound experiments have

two masterminds of electronic music team up to record an album together; electronica pioneer hans-joachim roedelius (cluster, harmonia) and stefan schneider, a member of one of today's leading electronica / post rock acts (to rococo rot) the result is this a wonderful longplayer stunden. 'stunden' is a unique record. it sounds new and unprecedented. this is instrumental music: no one sings or speaks, yet it tells stories from the present, writing them in the wind. in twelve miniatures with titles such as 'liebe', 'das eine' and 'country', hans-joachim roedelius and stefan schneider unfold images that come across poetically, glorifying tranquility. despite the use of synthesizers and amplifiers, they are closer to the texts of adalbert stifter than to the machine music of kraftwerk.
