After meeting Edgar Froese at the short-lived, yet iconic experimental music venue The Zodiak Free Arts Lab in West Berlin around 1969, Schulze started drumming for Tangerine Dream.
He cut his teeth performing in a number of local Berlin bands, including one called Psy Free. While Schulze is best known for his heady knack for synthesis, he was a percussionist before he was a keyboardist. Klaus Schulze performing live in Poland with Dead Can Dance's Lisa Gerrard
