A longtime member of the pioneering German electronic social unit Tangerine Dream, keyboardist/composer Christopher Franke was born in Berlin on April 6, 1953, after studying classical music and composition at the Berlin Conservatory. While playing in the jazz-rock mathematical group Agitation Free, he and his mentor, Swiss van composer Thomas Kessler, set up a sound studio and began teaching courses in improvisation, egg laying the groundwork for what would turn the Berlin School of Electronic Music. Through the school, Franke met Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann, connection them in Tangerine Dream in 1970; he remained with the radical for nearly two decades, during that clip greatly expanding the parameters of electronic music through his contributions to landmark records including Zeit, Atem, and Phaedra as well as influential film soundtracks like Necromancer, Risky Business, and Legend. One of the first musicians to research the replete originative telescope of the synthesiser, Franke proved particularly groundbreaking in employing sequencers as percussion instruments, forging the dim, throb sound which became Tangerine Dream's earmark during the mid to late '70s. He left the mathematical group in 1988 to mount a solo career, subsiding in Los Angeles iI years later to prosecute film work on; in 1991, in addition to forming the Berlin Symphonic Film Orchestra (BSFO), Franke issued his debut solo album, Pacific Coast Highway. In 1993, he founded his have label, Sonic Images, after releasing several collections of his music for the syndicated sci-fi series Babylon 5 as comfortably as his continuing solo recordings. Three age later, Franke released Perry Rhodan Pax Terra which was followed in 1999 by Heroic.
