Worth a read: Frieze blog post bio of Conrad Schnitzler, the Berlin-based electronic musician who died last month.
Schnitzler is the classic non-joiner, L'art pour l'art, self-professed ivory tower dweller. Kind of the opposite of the social media attention vampire, famous for being gregarious.
I have a few scattered recordings of Schnitzler's music and like his generally hard, cold, mechanical sound very much.
