coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the band. In late summer 2014, Edgar Froese, Thorsten Quaeschning, Ulrich Schnauss and Hoshiko Yamane began to work on what was planned to be the first album of Tangerine Dreams Quantum Years - a new phase of the band that Edgar wanted to use to introduce a couple of substantial changes.Consisting of himself, long term collaborator Thorsten Quaeschning (synths & musical director), violinist Hoshiko Yamane and new member Ulrich Schnauss (synths), the Quantum Years promised an updated, contemporary take on the bands trademark sound of the 70s and 80s: sequencer-driven electronica covering a wide range of moods and atmospheres from ambient soundscapes to energetic, upbeat moments. Non-musical ideas relating to the field of quantum physics and philosophy had inspired Edgar to attempt a translation of these concepts into music.Very sadly however Edgar passed away in early 2015 - requesting that his wife, visual artist and TDs manager for the last 15 years, Bianca Froese-Acquaye would ensure that his vision for the Quantum Years would still be realized.Throughout the last two years Quaeschning, Schnauss and Yamane therefore worked hard on achieving a result that would match Edgars expectations - as well as the ones of TDs loyal fanbase.Its worth noting that the compositions appearing on the album are not only based on theoretical concepts and ideas Edgar had outlined, but also on a large number of actual musical sketches that he luckily had already prepared during the initial phase of the bands reformation process.Therefore, Quantum Gate is just as much a new beginning as it is a testament to Edgars never-withering inspiration and ever-flowing creativity.
