ERDENKLANG MUSIK

Wellness Music, World Music, Electronic Music and Early Music.

The developement and philosophy of this label is closely linked with the history of popular electronic instrumental music. The launch of the label in 1982 with the „Erdenklang - Computerakustische Klangsinfonie" by Hubert Bognermayr and Harald Zuschrader ran parallel with the revolutionary advancement of the Fairlight - music computer.

Erdenklang set up milestones in this music genre with artists like Hubert Bognermayr, Gerd Bessler, Poli Palmer, Johannes Schmoelling. Kristian Schulze, Matthias Thurow, Klaus Netzle, just to name a few.

But Erdenklang´s scope began to widen in the late eighties, taking some steps away from the European electronic music heritage to encompass a wide range of global influences.

The „CrossCulture" series combines electronic music with many aspects of ethnic, world and native traditional musics. Of course also recordings with non-electronic instruments find their place in this „eclectophonic" catalogue.
