Florian Schneider leaves Kraftwerk after a 40 years
partnership with Ralf Hütter.
This partnership has generated an incredible
music and huge advances in music technology.
Florian is a great musician, always seeking
the perfect sound through technology. Refined
and perfected sounds and vocoders to impossible
levels of perfection.
Our thanks for the state of art that led to
Kraftwerk’s music all these years.
And our wishes for success Florian’s new
projects as well as to this new Kraftwerk.
