Kraftwerk at State Theatre New Jersey

After their worldwide hugely successful 3-D concert tours, the Electro pioneers Kraftwerk are coming to New Brunswick! Bringing together music and performance art, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true "Gesamtkunstwerka total work of art.The multimedia project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Htter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Dsseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums.By the mid 1970s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic sound scapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century.Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices, and computerized rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from Electro to Hip Hop, from Techno to SynthPop.In their live performances, KraftwerkRalf Htter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, Falk Grieffenhagenillustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine.Starting with the retrospective of their Catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012, in recent years Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Dsseldorf art scene of the late 60s.The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo), Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue National Galerie (Berlin), and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao).In 2014, Ralf Htter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
