Timeline

1950

Michael Rother (born 2 September 1950) is a German experimental musician, best known for being a founding member of the influential bands Neu! and Harmonia, and an early member of the band Kraftwerk.

Born in 1950, Rother was educated in Munich, Wilmslow (England), Karachi, and Düsseldorf.

1960

He also resided in Pakistan in the early 1960s where he was exposed to Pakistani music that would influence his own music in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

1965

From 1965 Rother played in the band Spirits of Sound, from which other members would later go on to join Kraftwerk (Wolfgang Flür) and Wunderbar.

1970

Beginning in the late 1970s, Rother began issuing LPs under his own name: Flammende Herzen (1977), Sterntaler (1978), and Katzenmusik (1979) all featured drums by Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit.

1971

Rother and Dinger were also in a short-lived version of Kraftwerk in 1971, with Florian Schneider, during a time when founding member Ralf Hütter had temporarily left the band (this version of the group was filmed during an appearance on the German music show Beat Club, which has been available sporadically on VHS and DVD).

1972

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Neu!

debut album, Rother played two concerts, Michael Rother & Friends: Celebrate 50 years NEU!.

The first was in Berlin, on 26 October 2022, and the second was in London on 3 November 2022.

The discography of Michael Rother consists of eleven studio albums, three compilations, two boxsets and eleven singles.

As a member of Neu! Rother released three studio albums, two albums of studio outtakes (Neu! 4/Neu! '86) and a rehearsal recording.

1977

Rother is a multi-instrumentalist (primarily guitar and keyboards) who, along with a catalog of several solo albums starting in 1977, is best known for having co-founded the German group Neu! with drummer Klaus Dinger (five albums between 1971 and 1996), and his collaborative efforts with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (aka Cluster) under the name Harmonia (two albums, one in 1974 and 1975, with later 1976 sessions recorded with Brian Eno; the studio tapes for the latter disappeared but were found by Roedelius two decades later; he remixed the tapes and released the results as Tracks and Traces in 1997; Rother was the main producer for the version re-released in 2009).

1980
