The Berlin School of electronic music, or just Berlin School, was a development of
electronic music in the
1970s, shaped by
Berlin-based artists like
Klaus Schulze,
Tangerine Dream and
Ash Ra Tempel. The style is characterized by soaring
electric guitar or synthesizer melodies in high-register accompanied by complex, shifting
sequencer bass lines. The lead soloist's warm, human improvisations were counterpoint to the cold, robotic precision of the bass-lines. Sound effects such as wind, and washes of
Mellotron choir, flute, or strings were often added for color. Experimental or ambient stretches were not rare either, especially as
intros. Most works were instrumental, vocals were used sparingly.
