Peter FROHMADER is one of the most innovative and fascinating composer of electronic music. Even in his first album (“Nekropolis - Le Culte Des Goules” issued in 1978), this German keyboardist could impose an astonishing musical style, developed in the Eighties on soundtracks, ambient tracks, symphonies… Influenced at first by CAN and MAGMA, his albums want to be an approach to Death and Nothingness. It is not a coincidence if he’s considered one of the fathers of the Gothic movement ! Composed over a six-year period (1997-2002), “Eismeer” is finally issued in early 2003, on the Gazul label. The author himself describes his work as “…A musical expedition, the movements of a boat on the sea”. The polyrhythmic, the harmony and the dissonances create a meditative and dark atmosphere. This trip on an ice sea proves intense and made of an unusual musicality. Very carefully written and performed, this epic of Nothingness is a highlight of contemporary electronic music. A major Krautrock keyboardist and part of the German electronic music scene, the Munich-based painter and artist Peter FROHMADER has also collaborated with the greatest. Respectively recorded in 1981 and 1982, “Nekropolis - Le Culte des Goules” & “Nekropolis II” especially show his talents as a multi-instrumentalist. This solo work is mainly about dark and highly experimental music, somewhere between HELDON, MAGMA & UNIVERS ZERO.
