Timeline

1950

Dagmar Krause (born 4 June 1950) is a German singer, best known for her work with avant-rock groups including Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, and Art Bears.

She is also noted for her coverage of songs by Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler.

Her unusual singing style makes her voice instantly recognisable and has defined the sound of many of the bands with whom she has worked.

Dagmar Krause was born in Hamburg, West Germany on 4 June 1950.

She began her professional career at the age of 14 as a singer in Hamburg clubs on the Reeperbahn.

1968

In 1968 she was invited to join the, a contemporary folk/protest group she once half-jokingly described as a German version of The Mamas & the Papas.

She contributed vocals to their 1968 album Der Kürbis, das Transportproblem und die Traumtänzer (The Pumpkin, the Problem of Transport and the Dream-dancers), a spin-off from a German TV show.

1969

The City Preachers broke up in 1969, but their lead singer Inga Rumpf and Krause reunited in 1970 to record I.D. Company, the name of a studio project where each vocalist sung lead on and determined the direction of one side of the LP (Krause's side indicated her future direction with its avant-garde slant).

Hamburg had a thriving avant-garde scene that attracted numerous European musicians interested in pursuing aesthetic freedom and experimental music.

It was here that Krause met, and later married, British experimental composer Anthony Moore.

1972

In 1972, Moore, Krause and Moore's visiting American friend, singer-songwriter Peter Blegvad formed Slapp Happy, a self-described "naive rock" group which mixed simple pop structures with obfuscatory lyrics drawing equally from semiotic and symbolist traditions.

Slapp Happy was the beginning of Krause's international musical career.

They recorded two albums in Germany for Polydor with Faust as their backing band, Sort Of (1972) and what subsequently became known as Acnalbasac Noom (not released at the time).

1974

Then they moved to London where they recorded a new arrangement of Acnalbasac Noom for Virgin Records, released as Slapp Happy, also known as Casablanca Moon (1974).

In 1974, Slapp Happy merged with Virgin label-mates Henry Cow, a politically oriented avant-rock group, and they made two albums, Desperate Straights (1974) and In Praise of Learning (1975).

But differences in approach caused Moore and Blegvad to withdraw Slapp Happy from the merger.

Krause, however, elected to remain with Henry Cow, which led to the end of Slapp Happy.

Krause's singing added a new dimension to Henry Cow's repertoire and their tricky time signatures enhanced her vocal powers.

1976

Henry Cow toured Europe for two years, during which time they released a live album Concerts (1976) which included Krause singing duos with Robert Wyatt.

But in May 1976 she was forced to withdraw from Henry Cow's hectic tour schedule due to ill health and returned to Hamburg.

1977

In October 1977, still unable to tour she left Henry Cow, but agreed to sing on their next studio album Hopes and Fears.

1978

Hopes and Fears began in 1978 as a Henry Cow album but differences of opinion in the group about its content resulted in it being credited to Art Bears, a new band consisting of Krause, Chris Cutler and Fred Frith.

1979

Art Bears went on to make two more albums of songs, Winter Songs (1979) and The World as It Is Today (1981).

Kevin Coyne worked with her on the 1979 album Babble, with Virgin Records.

At the stage presentation, Coyne suggested that the lovers' destructive relationship could have echoed The Moors Murderers.

Negative publicity in The Sun and The Evening Standard resulted in short-notice cancellation of two performances at the Theatre Royal Stratford East by Newham Council.

The show was put on at Oval House in Kennington for four nights.

Reviewing the show for the NME, Paul Du Noyer wrote:

Babble is a particularly thorough, painstaking exploration of the reality of one relationship, stripped of romance and artifice.

The format employed is correspondingly stark.

Against a stage-set of light-bulb, table and chairs Coyne and his partner Dagmar Krause stand at either side; the only accompaniment comes from Bob Ward and Brian Godding, playing electric and acoustic guitar in the gloom behind.

1980

The original Acnalbasac Noom only saw the light of day in 1980 when it was released by Recommended Records.

1983

In 1983, Krause joined a new band News from Babel, featuring core members Krause, Chris Cutler, Lindsay Cooper and Zeena Parkins.

1984

They recorded two albums Work Resumed on the Tower (1984) and Letters Home (1985).

After News from Babel, Krause was involved in a number of projects and collaborations.

In 1984, Krause sang backing vocals on "Here & There" by The Stranglers.

The song appeared on the b-side of their single, "Skin Deep".

1985

She performed on the Michael Nyman/Paul Richards art song, "The Kiss" with Omar Ebrahim on the Michael Nyman Band album The Kiss and Other Movements (1985).

1986

She also featured on Music for Other Occasions (1986) with Lindsay Cooper, Domestic Stories (1992) with Chris Cutler and Lutz Glandien, Each in Our Own Thoughts (1994) with Tim Hodgkinson, and A Scientific Dream and a French Kiss (1998) with Marie Goyette.

2001

It was subsequently added to the 2001 remastered edition of the parent album, Aural Sculpture.
