Tangerine Dream was founded by Edgar Froese in September 1967. Froese, whowas studying painting and sculpture, never in fact intended to earn a livingfrom music. Rather, he was fascinated by the strong, expressive paintings ofDali whom he knew personally for two years. The fact that Dali invited him togive several concerts at his villa gives us a strong indication of how importanttransferring the visual arts to music was to Froese, and through the band’s 34year history and numerous line-ups, Froese’s creative vision has always deliveredmore than just music.
