Tangerine Dream is a German electronic music band founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese. The group has undergone numerous personnel changes over the decades, with Froese remaining the only constant member until his death in January 2015. The band’s most widely recognized lineup was the mid‑1970s trio of Froese, Christopher Franke, and Peter Baumann. In 1979, Johannes Schmoelling replaced Baumann and remained with the group until 1985. This period became particularly notable for the band’s extensive work on film soundtracks. Since Froese’s death in 2015, Tangerine Dream has been led by Thorsten Quaeschning, Froese’s chosen successor and the band’s longest‑serving current member, having joined in 2005. He is currently joined by violinist Hoshiko Yamane, who became a member in 2011, and Paul Frick, who joined in 2020. Prior to Frick’s arrival, Quaeschning and Yamane performed alongside Ulrich Schnauss from 2014 to 2020. Schnauss played only three concerts with Froese in November 2014 before Froese’s passing. Tangerine Dream is regarded as a pioneering force in electronic music. Their early releases on the Ohr label played a significant role in shaping the German musical movement known as kosmische Musik (“cosmic music”).
