GUENTER SCHICKERT: is one of the original inventors + authorities of international respected socalled "Krautrock",even if the musicians of thios era don't like this expression.
The Fans do and celebrate Kraut as the big underground psychedelic approach made in germany. Schickert is one of the Kraut godfathers, esp. the electronic kind, is one of the rare masters of h a n d m a d e AMBIENT- + TRANCEGROOCE- soundscapes(waving landscapes).With his difficile machinesque routine in fingerpicking echoloop-treated guitars he is one of the rare masters in this technique, beside Manuel Goettsching and Lüül (Ashra Tempel). On the other hand, or better by mouth, he is also a creative soulmate making mushrooms roar and float, with an own specific sound, and similiar astonishing sounds come out of his trumpet, pure or technically manipulated.After his legendary 70s SOLO-ECHO-Trance-Performances,(LPs:UEBERFAELLIG/SAMTVOGEL),w
hich invented TRANCE Ambient Music like we know it today, (his only brothers in mind: Ambient godfathers KLAUS SCHULZE + ASHRA), he played in the 80s with Avantgarde/No Wave Bands like Aruma Ruma (with Rainer Lingk from DIE HAUT), then in the 90s with the NO ZEN ORCHESTRA, and joined then theatre performance ensembles like ZIGURI EGO ZOO and HUNDERTFLECK theatre.The end of the old and beginning of the new century saw him experimenting with the FEEDBACK ORCHESTRA BERLIN FOB, and with other musicians.

Pure Improvisation and adhoc composing are TTs intended methods to play without borders: absolutely free and emotional, without practice, the only reliable basic he can trust is his good ears, his ability to hear and understand whats going on and transform
it with his own sensitiveness in melodious contribution or noiseful contrast.
