This summer, Kraftwerk were invited to play a special open air concert for the 100 year anniversary of the legendary BAUHAUS in Germany. Bringing together electronic music, computer animations and performance art, Kraftwerk concerts are a true "Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art.” Kraftwerk were started in 1970 by Ralf Huetter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums.By the mid-1970s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes’ and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st Century. Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from Electro to Hip Hop, from Techno to SynthPop. In their live performances, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Huetter and his team illustrate the belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. Starting with the retrospective of their catalogue at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 2012, in recent years Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue National Galerie (Berlin) and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). In 2014 electro pioneer Ralf Huetter and his former partner were honoured with the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. And in 2021 Kraftwerk were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
