A life as a child actor in the German movies was violently ended by the wartime Berlin firestorms. The communists forcibly conscripted the teenage Roedelius into the DDR Volksarmee. He deserted and was sentenced to two years in prison with hard labour 1000 meters underground in the coal mines. From there he went to become one of the most enduring musicians to emerge from the 1960s West German counterculture. Painting with Sound tells the untold story of the remarkable life of a "godfather of electronic music." This beautifully illustrated 120-page volume is packed with insight and analysis, including: over 80 rare photographs, most previously unpublished; complete reviews of all 66 Cluster, Harmonia and Roedelius albums; full color reproductions of all the album covers; contributions from leading musicians including Julian Cope, Lloyd Cole, Lene Lovich and many others; and a list of further reading and useful websites. This book will appeal to all fans of kosmische, krautrock, industrial, ambient and new age or anyone who appreciates good music. Foreword by Brian Eno.
