Michael Rother & friends / Pale Ribbons Tossed Into the Dark

Join innovative music pioneer Michael Rother and some of his influential friends as they revisit the legendary NEU! canon for a new audience (and old fans).

As a founding member of NEU!, Michael Rother (alongside his companion the late Klaus Dinger) has cast a line of inspiration that has shaped numerous musical generations. From his first musical genesis as a member of Kraftwerk and his work as Harmonia with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius, Michael has etched out an entirely personal sound world, most recently captured on a string of solo and collaborative albums.

Joined by long time collaborators Hans Lampe (La Düsseldorf), Franz Bargmann (exCamera) and Vittoria Maccabruni, this performance celebrates 50 years of NEU! and its groundbreaking legacy. It takes the now legendary NEU! canon and reworks it as a tribute to Klaus Dinger and in recognition of Michael Rother’s continued exploration of his utterly unique and profound way of music making. Hear a selection of favourite tracks from Michael´s long career, including fast-forward tracks from NEU! and Harmonia as well as solo works.

Support on the night comes from Pale Ribbons Tossed Into The Dark.
