Cluster on Brain Records, Brian Eno and Harmonia | Red Bull Music Academy

► Subscribe to Red Bull Music Academy: win.gs/SubscribeRBMA
Highly influential and utterly unique, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and the late Dieter Moebius shaped the direction of popular music - without even intending to do so.
This talk, at the 2010 Red Bull Music Academy in London, takes in their earliest collaborations as Cluster, their work with Neu’s Michael Rother as Harmonia, their longstanding relationship with producer Conny Plank and their friendship with Brian Eno.

[@authoritease]

Red Bull, please hire/invite the right interviewer for the right artists... someone who has some knowledge and respect for the artists and their music. It's not about age, as was proposed in previous comments. It's about knowledge, understanding, care and deep interest in or understanding of the total oeuvre. It's not that he knows nothing about histories of music, it's more that he's a terrible interviewer and in this case has no understanding of their earlier music in relation to post-WWii Germany for example. Judgmental, presumptuous, incredulous, foolish tone most of the time. "This must have sold tons." Moebius and Roedelius were much too generous here. Egon names influential bands at the time and comments as if to ask - if you were listening to them, why didn't you sound more like them? This interview exemplifies a problem with Red Bull music academy, that many just want to know how to succeed in the business. For Moebius and Roedelius it's been a way of life.

RIP Moebius. I never complement people, but this is a brilliant interview. Thank you.

[@spectralisation]

Why would anyone, having an hour or so to talk to the legendary Cluster, waste time chatting about "how did you get signed to this label or that label"?? How about the philosophy, creative thought process, technical process behind the music itself?

[@cemegonuts]

i love how the interviewer tries to frame their beginnings in the terms of the modern music industry. The types of restraints and rituals (A&R men) and stuff like that didn't exist then. This is why music was so much better then. Now we have this huge machine behind the sales of music, and it ruins the creative aspect. The interviewer is very naive. I almost pity him. He's too young to understand the perspective of Moebius and Roedelius. They should have had an older interviewer. The interviewer's parents were probably in diapers when the first Kluster album came out.

I have seen 3 or 4 RB Music Academy videos now. The guests are deeply interesting and I love the information you get out of these series. But, the interviewers seem like 'oh, I am so cool and artistic' kind of. Very common among musicians unfortunately. A bit of arrogance with lack of professionalism and knowledge... It is still good, but could be much better. Get better people.

[@Glenny-vk4np]

This interviewer is a blight on the proceedings. He really wants to push the "you should be resentful of Eno for ripping you off"narrative. What a waste of an opportunity. Meanwhile the legendary members of Cluster just ooze class.

[@rgehlhaar]

At the peak of his career, Stockhausen's was globally famous & attracted huge audiences and attention (see Beatles' St Peppers album sleeve). I know this because I worked with him in the 60s and played his music. The concerts were always sold out no matter where we went, most of the audience was young people.

[@vincentdow5899]

I wonder if there's any A.I. app that could remove the interviewer

[@sebastianavendano7872]

dieter moebius is one of the most inspiring musical artist i have the fortune of listening to, he really isnpired me, and I just love everything he has done

[@ShahriarTaherkhani]

[@eurostarnamastar3128]

Glad other listeners here pick up on the attitude of the young, smart but inexperienced host.
