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

the musician hans-joachim roedelius is one of the most prolific musicians of the german avant-garde and a key figure in the birth of krautrock, synthesizer pop and ambient music through his releases with cluster, moebius, brian eno and his solo work. 'the diary of the unforgotten' is a collection of recordings from the years 1972 to 1978 and was first released in 1990, now released on cd (digipack with different artwork) and for the first time ever on 180 gram vinyl. between the years of 1972 and 1978, roedelius and dieter moebius, later joined by michael rother, lived out on a country estate at forst in the idyllic weser uplands. it was here that the harmonia albums, legendary recordings with brian eno and various splendid cluster albums were created. both the house itself and the surrounding landscape held a magical fascination for roedelius who translated his feelings and impressions into music, giving rise to the 'self-portrait' series - 'selbstportrait vi', in particular the 24 minutes of the 'hommage forst' centrepiece, is a distant echo from that forst era. liner notes by roedelius himself and asmus tietchens.
