At the end of his life, Pierre Schaeffer commented that his musical
and sound experiments had attempted to go beyond 'do-re-mi'. This
had a direct bearing on EinstA1/4rzende Neubauten's musical
philosophy and work, with the musicians always striving to extend
the boundaries of music in sound, instrumentation and purpose. The
group are one of the few examples of 'rock-based' artists who have
been able to sustain a breadth and depth of work in a variety of
media over a number of years while remaining experimental and open
to development. Jennifer Shryane provides a much-needed analysis of
the group's important place in popular/experimental music history.
She illustrates their innovations with found- and self-constructed
instrumentation, their Artaudian performance strategies and textual
concerns, as well as their methods of independence. EinstA1/4rzende
Neubauten have also made a consistent and unique contribution to
the development of the independent German Language Contemporary
Music scene, which although often acknowledged as influential, is
still rarely examined.
