artistic roots and influences

Hattler's musical career began in 1968 with appearances in his band "Kraan", one of the most influential groups in the Krautrock genre. Originally become popular in Germany in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Krautrock combined elements of the psychedelic rock, the avant -garde composition and electronic music. Hattler's music itself reflects the duality that is its trademark by uniting both dance -loving and musically demanding sounds.

The band "Kraan" experienced various challenges in the early years, but lived together in a creative environment. Their albums are considered groundbreaking, and the "Flyday" published in 1978 in particular is considered the highlight of their career. The band dissolved in 1983, but reformed at the end of the 1980s and celebrated a comeback in 2000, which began at various festivals, including the Herzberg Festival Castle. During this time Hattler also became a guest musician for other projects, such as the false colors.

modern projects and innovations

Apart from his work with "Kraan", Hattler also initiated his own projects, including the duo album "Mind Movie" with Joo Kraus, which conveyed innovative approaches in the German music scene. Hattler was also a co-founder of "Tabtwo", a hip-jazz duo that has achieved considerable success in recent years. The combination of rhythm elements of the Krautrock with modern jazz and electronic sounds still attracts many fans.

With his upcoming tour and the new album, Helmut Hattler not only affirms his place in music history, but also inspires a new generation of artists and fans. In the facet of the German music landscape, its share remains indispensable.
