To celebrate the 86-year-old’s latest pair of releases – a return to the Selbstportrait series of albums he began in 1979, and the demo collection Tape Archive Essence 1973-1978 – the time felt fitting to compile a chronological musical retrospective. Of course, it barely skims the surface of Roedelius’s countless projects and partnerships, but should provide a pleasant introduction to the life of a man spent painting with sound.
