DITHMAR - KLAUS SCHULZE TRIBUTE

Klaus Schulze had a huge impact on me. His innovative use of synthesizers and sequencers inspired me and lived in almost all tracks I ever did. He was and is an icon, and using my sonic universe but his method of combining rhytmic patterns of 3, 4, 5 and 7, I made this track dedicated to him.
Klaus - you will live forever in my heart...

[@Seekthetruth3000]

He left his mark. May he rest in sequencers.

Oh, a fine tribute to a great musician!

[@DennisDithmar]

Thank you so so much :-)

[@vertigryffondor]

Thank you for this wonderful tribute, Klaus essence entered in you for sure I had the chance to meet him in 1985 after a concert in Brussels, he was a great human being, simple, close to the people I miss him so much. Greetz from Brussels.

[@DennisDithmar]

Thanks so so much for those kind words Teddy. I never got to meet him, but he always seemed so nice and humble. Good to hear you say that too 🙂

[@vertigryffondor]

@@DennisDithmar I remember, I was 19 at that time and very impressed to be in front of him. Amongst this and that, I told him how great he was and he said to me : "I'm just a simple human being like you". He thanked me different times for having come to see the concert. Bless you again my friend for the "soul to soul" tribute, I'm definitely sure he appreciates it wherever he is now. I feel it.

Hi Dithmar, super tribute of the master synthesizer player Klaus Schulze I listened the full 15+ minutes, I have also subscibed on you channel, greetings from Holland...

[@DennisDithmar]

Hartelijk dank en groeten aan Nederland 😀😀

[@maintaint3003]

Very true to form. 3-4-5-7 3-4-ever. Klaus had a "trash" section on his website, documenting erroneous myths about his work and character. My favorite was "Klaus has always stayed true to his analogue roots" to which he replied along the lines of "You know the first digital synth made for market? I had one with the serial number 5".

[@DennisDithmar]

Thanks so much. You're absolutely right. Schulze loved anything progressive - including loads of digital stuff. If any listener should be in doubt, listen to his celebration of the digital development on "Dig it"...

Oh man, this is so good. Great tribute to the master 🙏. P.s: Is this available to download anywhere? You know, youtube compression etc.

[@DennisDithmar]

Thanks so so much for those kind words Manuel. The track is planned to be properly released. But it may take a little while. If you can somehow provide me with some contact info, I'm sure I can send you a hi-res version of the track.

[@Luke_96]

@@DennisDithmar Thanks for the answer. KZbin doesn't let me post my second email account, so... You can use a temporary file transfer service like wetransfer and then post here the link if this works. Do you have planned to cover other krautrock artists or music genres of that era?

[@DennisDithmar]

@@Luke_96 Good idea...! Here is a pretty decent MP3, as I need to keep the Wav as a master. There is a good 10 second lead-in for video purposes. I'm sure you can cut that off yourself. Just promise not to spread it. It is on the table for a release rather soon. we.tl/t-zzn9lu1Ti4 (works for 7 days!) About other stuff - I have three albums in the pipeline. Two of them kraut. One classic kraut "Mensch", one neu-kraut "Galerie Neu". I will release an Edgar Froese tribute "Sortie" from one of those albums here on KZbin very soon. Thanks for your enthusiasm - much much appreciated...

[@studiospiraluniverse]

I hope KS can hear your tribute at his new galactic address, You really honoured his sound with your own one. May I ask about the 3/4/5/7 rhythm you mentioned….what exactly is it?

[@DennisDithmar]

Thanks a billion. Normal western rhythm patterns run in 4/4's. If you let ie a hihat or a sequence then run in 3/4's constantly, another role in 5/4's or 5/8's and yet another role in 7/8's, then all those patterns run simultaniously so that they will first reach the same 1-beat after prox 110 bars. This adds a constant dynamic in the track, that Klaus enjoyed using, and a clear sign he came into the synth world with a drummers background.

[@studiospiraluniverse]

@@DennisDithmar Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@gillesgarneau7032]

Hi! Nice stuff really... Is it released on a physical CD format ? Have Fun Gilles From Quebec /Kanada 😄

Hello Gilles et merci beaucoup. It has not been released on CD, but you tempt me to contact my label and release it as a bonus, on one of the forthcoming albums.

[@gillesgarneau7032]

@@DennisDithmar Hi again ... I've checked on Discogs and seen your Zodiac Zeit cdr so I will buy one. Your collaboration with Harald is a great team up. The track Moon 2047 is a nice mix follow up to the original 1847 - Earth from Harald's Synthesist LP !! ... Vielen Grube G+

[@DennisDithmar]

@@gillesgarneau7032 That pleases me immensely. Harald is such a cool and wonderful man. It was fun to make a sort of logical sequel to 1847 with him. I'd love to get your reaction, when you listened to the entire album. ❤
