Michael Rother

German experimental musician, born 2 September 1950 in Hamburg.

He was in the group Spirits of Sound with [a=Wolfgang Riechmann] and [a=Wolfgang Flür] until 1970.

For a very short time he played with [a=Kraftwerk], though it was in between their first two albums and he is not featured on any of their official releases.

When he left Kraftwerk, he took [a=Klaus Dinger] with him and together they formed [a=Neu!]. Simultaneously to that band, Rother collaborated with [a=Hans-Joachim Roedelius] and [a=Dieter Moebius] of [a=Cluster] in a new project called [a=Harmonia].

In 1976 he decided to go solo, though he still toured with Moebius until 2014.
