Krautrock

Krautrock is a genre of German experimental rock that emerged in the late 1960s and flourished throughout the 1970s. Characterized by hypnotic rhythms, repetitive melodies, and electronic manipulation of sound, krautrock drew on psychedelic rock, avant-garde, and world music influences. The genre's pioneers sought to break away from Anglo-American rock traditions, instead embracing a more motorik, or driving, rhythmic approach, often featuring prominent use of synthesizers, drum machines, and tape loops. This distinctive sound, combined with a DIY ethos and a fascination with the intersection of technology and art, allowed krautrock to transcend traditional rock boundaries, influencing a wide range of subsequent genres, from post-punk and new wave to ambient and techno.
