“On our album, the track ‘Amboss’ represents the first layer. Conventional instruments communicate familiar music which is in part expanded through electronic means. In the second track of the album — ‘Traummaschine’ — the actual basic sound approach is dissolved into an electronic Nirvana which no longer allows the concrete identification of actual instruments. Innocent, virgin listening, free from any and every association, can finally begin — and the music can be absorbed and processed free from the limitations of categorization. That is the purpose of our music: To convey freedom without any predetermined criteria or traditions. Thank you for your attention.” —Manuel Gttsching(Taken from the original A-R-T Bio 1970)
